Why more brake dust/grime on right front wheel

Question

I seem to get noticeably more dust/grime from the front disk brake on my right wheel than the left ('05 TJ SE). Any cause for concern? If yes, is there a particular thing I should ask the dealer to check?

That implies the calipers are not sliding evenly. The salt here can do them in fast if they don't have a good coating of antiseize on them. It is really common to see just the inside pad worn out up here in the salt belt.

I'd surely point it out to them. I don't worry about my brake dustunless it turns from black to a little brownish showing it making thefake brass rivet contact. I wish we could use unvented wheels again, butthat's the only real advantage disks have over drums is heatdissipation.         God Bless America, Bill O|||||||Omailto:      Baldw
