Brake issue

    A mate came to me with a weird one today, had brake pads replaced on his 2003 mitsubishi l200 in february, has a problem with 1 wheel, he noticed a lot more 'brake dust' like powder surrounding the inner wheel hub, almost like its coming out from the centre cap, also the tyre on this wheel is a lot more worn than the others by a good 2-3mm (all the tyres are the same and were replaced at the same time)

    its not a brake calliper - the pickup rolls freely even on a small incline.
    its been driven in 2wd so I dont think its any issues caused by the 4wd system.
    the wheel doesnt look buckled or cracked.

    Any ideas boards ?

    It may be grease leaking from the wheel hub causing the staining with the brake dust sticking to it. Have you jacked it up and checked for any play in the hub? Excess play could lead to the tyre wear or it may simply be an alignment issue.

    Sticking calipers are also common enough on the L200 so just because its rolling easy enough doesn't mean there may be more friction from the brakes on that side.
