The new LF rotor shows noticably more wear and brake dust than the New RF rotor. The RF still shows the machining marks. They are Centric Premiums w/Hawk SP pads. Hard braking produces no noise or pull. I presume it is a caliper issue but never experiencing this before I wanted some feed back from youse guys.

I wonder if the left side caliper is hanging{pad not releasing from rotor as specced} up creating more wear and brake dust than the right side?

Historically the right front and left rear rotors wear faster especially the inside surfaces.

Important to rebuild caliper bore and seals and replace pins and hardware kit comppnents, etc - as new requires new.
