Brake dust
I have a 85 F150 and the front driver side tire always have excessive brake dust around the rim. All other tires and rims are fine, but the front driver side is always really dusty.
And sometimes this truck shakes when going down the highway, but only sometimes, are these problems related?

Stange.
check to see if it's also getting hotter than the other wheels, if it is the caliper might be getting stuck. In which case you'll have to either take it apart and clean it (remove the rust/deposits from the piston) or get a new one.
Wouldn't know if the shakes are related.

Had the same thing on my 86, turned out to be the wheel bearing giving up.

Also are the rotors one or two piece? and who has the best price for new rotors?
