Brake question about brake dust

I installed some EBC slotted and dimpled rotors with some EBD 7000 Series Green Stuff brake pads about 1000 miles ago. Since then I have noticed that the drivers side seems to be "dusting" a lot more than the passenger side. Has anyone ever noticed something like this? Does it mean that I may have some air in one of the lines? The entire system was bled very thoroughly when installed. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

 

Maybe you just brake more often on right hand corners when the driver side tire is moving faster.

You would know if the passenger front brake was full of air. Your pedal would feel mushy and it would pull to the left under braking. Try some 60mph to zero panic stops on a lonely road somewhere. I bet the pads just aren't bedded in properly.

 

Also there's more weight on your driver side

 

I'm not an engineer, I've never driven a train, but that doesn't make sense assuming the Tacoma has a rigid chassis.

 

first gens had "taco lean." you 2nd gen guys were just screwed before the 2nd gen even came out.

 

I'm aware the driver side of the vehicle has more weight. That doesn't equate to more work for the brake pads on the heavy side, but like I said, I've never driven a train.

 

driver's side wears out more than passenger on brakes, happened with every set I put on, regardless of vehicle.

now depending on the dust maybe you should have kept the solid discs, unless of course you're racing the Taco

 

I'll be a monkey's uncle. I've never noticed that before.

 

What foot r u using to brake with?

 

LOL

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I am using my RIGHT foot so maybe that is the problem. Should I start alternating

Seriously though, My brakes don't feel mushy at all. I have SS braided brake lines installed and bled the hell out of the system after the new pads, rotors and lines were installed so it is pretty rock solid. No "spongy" feeling. Just seemed weird to me.

rotate tires until all wheels are dusty

seriously, the post above about doing a deliberate stop from 60 or so would be wise to do, just to make sure you don't have something weird going on

 

You shouldn't have had to bleed anything. You just remove old rotors and pads, then install new rotors and lube/install new pads.


what you did


Before i got to 600 miles on my EBC stage five kit, i did the 10 60-10mph stops. It seemed to have really baked the coatings together nicely

 

Does anyone have an opinion on those Kleen Wheels Dust Shields that you put inside your rims to prevent the dust from getting on your rims?

I just wash my wheels

 

Once every week or two....so do i

 

Well, the pads and rotors are less than 1000 miles old. I installed EBC Slotted/dimpled rotors and Green Stuff pads and SS brake lines. I followed break-in procedures VERY carefully. I will give the quick stop thing a try, just want to make sure I pass the 1000 mile "break-in" period that EBC recommends before any hard core stops.
Thanks again guys.

Maybe pull off the wheel, check both pads on that side and make sure they are wearing evenly. These calipers are four piston and different than a lot with slides but I think they can still seize up. Worth checking I'd say.
