Front wheels are dirtier than rears, get dirty fast as well?
It's happened for awhile now but I took my car to the car wash 4 days ago, and my front rims/wheels are already dirty. The front left is dirty but the front right is even dirtier, a little blacker than the left side.
My car is a 2004 ford explorer eddie bauer 4.6L. I believe the wheels are aluminum.
That's called brake dust.
Brake dust. Your truck is big and heavy. It also has to use regular brake pad material instead of ceramics because it needs the stopping power more than quietness and less brake dust.
Ron is right, that's brake dust. Most likely caused by semi-metallic brake pads. Did you have the front brakes serviced lately?
Every time the brakes are used, some of the "pad" is worn off, and the static electricity created by the vehicles motion, acts as a magnet and causes the metallic dust from the pad to cling to the metal wheel.
While all pads create dust when they're used, a good ceramic pad 5 to 10 times cleaner.
- Vibration/thumping in front suspension. More than likely.drivers front 2002 Ford Sport Trac Vibration/thumping. More speed, the more it vibrates, shakes, and makes the thump thump thump sound. Passenger side mirror shows no sign of movement… Drivers side mirror shakes quite a bit. No noticeable noises other than the thumping. No hard pulling to either side in steering wheel. No difference when braking. Any input would be very much appreciated!
- How many miles can you get out of a well maintained 2006 Ford Mustang? I'm thinking of buying an automatic v6 mustang with 66k in the odometer for $9500… Will it last me throughout the next 4 years of college? Will it still run good well into the 150k miles?
