“The front rotors seem to retain brake dust just on the insides of the rotors. The outsides are very clean and shiny but on the other side of the rotor (interior) becomes very coarse causing vibrations in steering. Keep in mind that the interior is protected by the brake shield which must be causing heat not to be dissipated thereby fostering brake dust to amass. Such vibrations will alarm drivers to panic and cause accidents.”
