Question Please Help with Brake Dust?

Ok so I was working on my entertainment system in the garage when i noticed my front drivers side wheel was covered in brake dust. Now I cleaned my wheels only 2 days ago but it has rained so I was like maybe they are dirty again. I then went over to the passenger side and the wheel is still shiny. Could it be that I have a warped rotor and that is what is causing this dust. Also I thought it was the wheel balancing but I am getting a noise on the highway like dut dut dut dut dut . And also getting a vibration which comes and goes. Boy I have problems. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

sounds to me like warped rotors...not because of the brake dust but because of the vibration your feeling....i guess it's time to get some aftermarket pads/rotors.

Default Yep.

Power Slot rotors and EBC Greenstuff would be a great combo. They would look and perform better!
