why in the world is there so much brake dust on my left front rim?! i washed my car friday, and i noticed yesterday there is a HUGE amount of brake dust on the left front rim. more than twice as much as the right front. probably even more. is there anything that can be causing this or anything i can do to fix it? and i havent noticed this before the wash either, and i didnt use any type of rim cleaner besides soap and water...

caliper siezed?

i take it you cant feel an extra resistance when driving? maybe something came outta wack like a pad or the rotor like matt said

Or your guide pins had no lube and they caused the caliper to seize?

idk... ill pull the wheel off tomorrow and take a look to get a better idea of whats going on. and no i havent noticed any added resistance. plus the car would pull to the left i would think and its not doing that. so idk... ill have to look
