rust colored dust front rims
I have a 93 Honda Accord. I've had the brakes and pads replaced at 50K
I am at 90 K and Honda says I'm down 50% back 40% front. Losing a bit of brake fluid only when cold weather hits (?) What concerns me is the rust colored dust accumulating on my front wheel rims. Nothing happening with the back. Any ideas? |

Guess it depends on where you live. Pretty humid where I'm at, Fl, and still have never seen it. |

Rust stains are near impossible to remove. Rusty dust is typical of either aftermarket pads or heavy rust buildup on the discs from lack of use or maintenance. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
