Brake question?

Anybody experience one front wheel getting a lot dirtier than the other one? It's like double the brake dust, and it just started about a month ago. Doesn't pull when braking and still has the stock pads after 57,000 miles. No noise and was told had half pads left at about 45,000 miles. Also makes a tire noise when braking from high speeds (similar to a super swamper tread whine in a 4x4). I think that is new as well. Anybody experience any of this??? Don't wan't to spend $$ if it's something simple.

Sounds like your pads are not releasing because the
stainless steel sliders on the calipers may be hanging up ..

A very quick way to unevenly wear your pads, I might add.

Cool

I agree. It sure sounds typical as if one of the slider pins is gunked up and not letting the caliper ride back and forth. Just take the Cal. off and I'd bet youd find one of them hard to move.
