does anyone have trouble with front wheel brake dust? This seems to keep my clean wheels looking dirty. I have a 05-F150 Lariat. Does anyone sell front brake pads that don't make such a mess? Or is there something I can do to solve this problem.
Thanks for any help!!!!!!!

Do a search on the subject. You should find a lot to read on the subject. Many of us have changed our pads. At 11,000 miles, I could not take it anymore and put on some Wagner Thermo Quiet pads. They have worked great for me.

 

where do you get those pads? I will change them tomorrow.

Local auto parts store should be able to get them. Costis about $48 for the fronts. You may want to read the threads as others have used different types and brands. I chose the Wagner as they were a semi-metallic like the factory ones, just a very high quality. i felt that I would have less chance of noise and vibes. Have had them on for over 21,000 now and no problems. Seems as if I remember some having good luck with NAPA pads as well.

 

I've got an '06 and I've never experienced a brake dust problem like I have on this truck. I swear that just cranking it turns the rims black. I've only got about 8,000 miles right now and I'll be sure to use a different brand when it's time to change the pads...

 

I have an '04 SCrew Lariat and I have the same problem with the brake dust. The stock wheels that I took off recently were terrible! They had soooooo much dust on them...and I cleaned my truck once a week!! With the new wheels it hasn't been to bad yet (probably 'cuz I am washing it almost twice a week now) but I don't want to have the wheels acting as a brake dust magnet. I will definitely look into the Wagner's and read the other posts!
