Hey, I noticed some orange dust on my right front U joint. Any idea what could be the cause? I’m thinking brake dust & if that’s the case, what would be my next step to resolve it?

Thank you!

Kind of looks like the seal on your needle bearings (u-joint caps) went bad and they rusted inside. Now when you turn the wheel the rust comes dumping out all over. Depending on mileage, I would consider new front joints.
