hmm this was my first thought also... but MY dealer told me this silly thing: "you know on cars with ESP & ABS all wheels doesn't act the same..." this is right by one side but only when the car gets out of normal conditions... i

Unquote

I would agree with you that under normal driving & road conditions that both sides should roughly act about the same. OK on the 'odd' occasion one wheel may brake more than the other but I can't believe that under normal conditions that one wheel's brakes would not operate enough to remove the rust whereas the brake on the other side does. And over a period of time it is more than likely that the esp & abs actions would even out, after all we are not travelling constantly on exactly the same piece of road. Do these dealers take us for idiots ? I still feel there is more to it than this.
