well, brake dust happens, you can get pads that give off less dust, clean ur wheels with brake cleaner...or run on steelies so no one can tell

true....

even less dust pads, give out a good deal of dust especially if you do like weasle said.


brake pads wear down, you either get chunks or dust.

how are you getting it on your rear rims? my rear rims are perfectly clean and i havent clean them since i put them on about 2 months ago. im using ceramic pads in the front. they work alittle better. its nice i have dark bronze rims so it hard to tell anyway

Its a by-product of stopping just don't stop and your rims will stay nice and clean.


Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.

I've got high quality ceramic pads and the dust isn't near as bad. You really can't tell unless I don't wash the car for more than 2 or 3 weeks.

Clean it out with brake cleaner. if that doesn't fix it, try bleeding that line. If that still doesn't fix it let us know.

Most likely it's sticking so badly because it has an oil-based product in there. The brake cleaner will eat the offending chemical away. The banging is most likely the brake unsticking. I've had it happen to a few of my cars.

or iis it because the back brakes are tightened up to far?

Have you (or someone) adjusted them?
If so, why did you not mention this in the first place.
If not, try the brake cleaner.

ok yes my father adjusted them cause he said thats what it was causing it to pop. well ever sinc then the side (driver) that we adjusted has been locking up.

failed to mention that i guess. so what all should i try or do to get this fixed.
