excess rear brake dust, suggestions

So as you can see in the picture below I have one wheel, the drivers rear, that is putting out excessive brake dust. I checked the pads and they're wearing eveningly compared to each other and compared to the passenger side pads. Rotors seem to have a good thickness on them still and braking performance feels normal...so what's the deal.



They never dusted like this in the past and the way they're dusting with a liquid like pattern is what concerns me most. Brake fluid level is normal. It has not rained in my area in over a week and its not like it is extremely dewy in the mornings.

Leave your suggestions please.

Get Ceramic Brake pads and it illiminates brake dust. I have them on my Mercedes and I will have them on my G after i get it.

Answer not relevant to my problem, its not a pad compound issue and I already have ceramic pads.

Like I mentioned above, the passenger side rear is much cleaner than the driver side rear. I get that look after 3-days of driving to and from work and its isolated to that wheel only...so about 60-miles.
