Excessive brake dust?

I'm not sure what's going on here. Driver side has lots of brake dust, while the passenger side has virtually none. New calipers rotors and BMPs.

Check the temp of each with an IR gun to see if there's a difference.
I did a quick check last week and didn't see any major difference in the temperature between the front left or right. I'll check it again this evening when I get home though.

worn out notched pad slides on the steering knuckles causing the pad to hang or worn brake hose? id agree with the temp gun approach.

I pulled the driver side apart yesterday to check if a caliper piston was sticking, or if there was an issue with the slides. In the process nothing obvious surfaced. What I should have done, when I had things apart, was to measure the pads on both sides. At least I'd know how much the wear difference is. :unsure:
