One wheel always covered in brake dust...

Caliper is sticking right? It's on my moms 94 bravada. I just changed both fronts wheels' pads and rotors not even 3 months ago. The inner pad on this one wheel(drivers side front) had no pad left. She just told me it's building up again.

 

Could it be anything besides a caliper that likes to stick from time to time?

Pads hung up on the hardware? Brake hose causing pressure to the caliper..

 

 

You wont know until you pull it off.. Pads need to move freely on the caliper hardware.

 

This. Caliper would be a good bet, but it could be a hose, frozen slides, or pads that didn't move freely.

Could also be a issue with the other side not working at all. S/T body trucks always have had bad brake dust issues.

 

I would imagine they would notice the vehicle pulling HARD to one side if the other side was not working at all...

 

 

And the rotor would be rusted over..

 

Both sides should be checked regarless..

Not always. Just because it's not working at 100% doesn't mean it's not still working. Also if you want to think about it why isn't it pulling now if the brake is dragging?
