Brake dust

i wash my car regularly once a week sometimes more if it gets dirty if we have a rainy week.i have noticed my right front wheel gets a lot more brake dust than the left and quicker.anyone else notice that?i can see the brake pads threw the wheel and they seem and feel the same thickness.its a 2010 awd with just over 10k miles.should i be worried?

If theres that much of a difference, you could have a slightly sticking brake caliper on that one side, although unlikely. Brake dust on these is sort of odd anyways, since the OEM pads are mostly a ceramic type. If you have any type of vibration when braking, it could be a rotor that's slightly warped, which can cause some brake dust at that wheel. Also, Id assume at only 10k miles that the brake pads are still the OEM ones. If not, then that could be the cause, as aftermarket pads are seldom made of the correct friction material, and could produce alot of dust.
