Heavy Brake Dust on Drivers Side

Why would brake dust accumulate more on one wheel than the other. I dont have any braking issues, just more dust on that wheel. It isnt just a little either, the drivers side is almost black with dust while the passenger side wheel is fairly clean. What gives?

From: North Carolina or Kentucky. Take your pick
I would suspect a sticking caliper. Just not bad enough to cause trouble. Try checking with warm brakes. Raise both front wheels off grand, apply brakes, release and rotate tires. If left is harder, that's your answer. Replace both calipers, not just the bad one. If nothing found, take wheel off and inspect caliper for free movement on slides, proper install, damaged pad, ect.
