break dust build up

YROF1 · 04-27-2010, 09:58 PM

my front left passenger rim seems to get substantially more break dust build up then my other front tire...does anyone know what this may mean?

possible warp rotors.

Is your car right-hand drive?

Seriously, does it pull to the side? Might be your brakes arent releasing all the way...

Go out and drive your car normally for say 20 min. When you stop... touch each wheel with your hand. Are they the same temp? Or is that wheel with all that dust - really dam hot>?

Could be a sign of the brakes dragging on that wheel. Better have it looked at.
