Question brake dust

Why is there more brake dust in the front then the back?

Front brakes do 70-75 percent of the braking.

The "load" of the braking action.....g-forces push the "load" towards the front of the vehicle (unless your going backwards).

Same principle as in NASCAR...the right side tires get all the wear as opposed to the left side tires.

I've rid myself of cleaning my wheels every other day by eliminating that brake dust. There are some pads available that will eliminate that dust. I'm a newb to this forum so not sure how they are with posting web site info. PM me if you want details. JP
