Alot of break dust
Alot of break dust
I am seeing alot of break dust on my front right wheel and minor on the others.
I notice that when I hit the breaks the car shutters alittle bit like its skipping (not smooth stopping). The feeling is like something is warped like how a bicycle wheel is warped and when you hit the breaks it would skip, same feeling.
What can this problem be ? and how to fix it ?

pull the wheel and caliper- inspect the pads for equal wear
If one pad is toasted and its mate good- probable caliper issue
Many gen2 that never got the brake fluid flushed.. have this problem
Pulsing may be a warped rotor- very common on stock rotors- measure the lateral runout and check for visual signs of heat in spots
A brake shop can check this for you-- if beyond your current tools and skill level
Note: Clean and wax the rims inside and outer, with synthetic car wax- 3 coats
Will keep the brake dust from adhering to the rim- and makes easy cleanup of what dust does stick

warped rotors could be an issue as well. Also-excessive brake dust can be caused by generic pads..
