Default Help! driver side rim has brake dust, passenger side doesnt?

Well like when I wash my car, the only rim that I have to scrub is the driver side one. The passenger side one is like...spotless basically. The driver side one has less tread than the passenger side tire though cause it popped before and I had it replaced....other than that...is something wrong? does that mean my passenger side brake isnt fully functioning? or what oh god

sorry if it sounds confusing o_o

Take your car to a brakeshop, and let them bleed the brakes for you.

-Or-

This is probably not the case, but if two different styles of brake pads were used, assuming one side had to be replace for some odd reason, that would explain allot.

Check for a seized caliper. This could wear out your left tire much more quickly.

Does your car pull real bad to one side when you hit the brakes? Sounds like a stuck caliper.
