Have you taken a look at the brakes yet? Could be the driver's side pads just dust more than the passenger's, due to loose manufacturing tolerances, different types/brands of pads installed on either side, etc.

It's not exactly a diagnostic aid, the amount of brake dust on your wheels. Take the wheels off and actually take a look.
