Uneven Brake Dust

1990 560 SEL

Confirm my suspicions (or not) -

I noticed last night that the brake dust on the front right wheel is SIGNIFICANTLY heavier than the dust on the left front. Is this indicative of a caliper starting to stick/go bad?

I was planning on pads & rotors anyway this weekend - got ATE slotted rotors and Akebono ceramics already, so maybe I'll get the calipers today as well (parts warehouses are closed tomorrow...)

Regards and Happy 4th!,
Kevin
