If those wheel cylinders sat around on a shelf for any length of time they may have attracted moisture inside and the pistons don't move smoothly or one side may be stuck in position. Did you take them apart and inspect them inside before you installed them? If you are not sure of the origin of those cylinders maybe they were there due to them being defective?
