brakes!!!!

I know your front brakes get dirty when driving for a while (brake dust) but i have noticed alot more brake dust on the drivers side wheel than the rest of the wheels, any reason for this?

because the front brakes responsible for most of the stopping power.

Cuz when you brake, the weight will shift to the front, so yeah, front gets more brake dust.

As for why one side more than the other, it has something to do with your driver's seat side.

Hmm that is weird one side having more dust than the other, going to a ceramic compound it will have less dust.

Should check the caliper slides and make sure they aren't seized..they will drag and wear out faster....hence the increased dust
