They shouldn't, and if they did, you'd feel it with the car up in the air. Mine only do it on a very hard corner, but I can still manage it on the street.

One way to tell what the heck is going on is to find a parking lot large enough for you to do a "skidpad test". Run the car hard enough to push the pads back, then coast to a stop (still turning in a circle). Jack the car up and you'll see the pad that is pushed away from the rotor. It's a very small gap, but it will be obvious. Trouble is finding a location to do this.
