Rust-like powder coming-out of front brakes/wheel

[MikeOcampo]

Help on brakes mga boss. I have a 2003 Nissan Exalta (N16).
There are rust-like powder stains on my left-front wheels. Mukhang nang-gagaling sa brakes. I have them serviced in Mantrade-Pasong Tamo... ayun! both wheels na yung nagma-marka ng pula. Normal po ba ito?

normal lang yan brakedust. linisin mo lang paglamig ng brakes and mags mo kasi makapit yan. may brakepads na mas madami magproduce ng dust. baka nagpalit ka ng bagong set

Normal. It's brake dust. The brake pads get used up and turn into "dust" and sometimes sticks to the wheels.

Just remember to clean it often. If not, the brake dust can stick to the wheels.

generally more brake dust means less rotor wear\better braking performance yun lang nga palagi madumi tingnan mags mo

Yup, that's normal especially if you are using the more street-oriented (as opposed to sportier) type of brake pads.

I'd rather have the brake pads wearing (and becoming dust) than the brake rotors getting scored or warped by very hard pads.

Normal lang iyan at depede rin sa brake pad na gagamitin mo.

Ah. ito ba yung parang oily na alikabok sa front? my brake pads lasts only 8 months on an average.
