Thank you, Daox. I tried that test this morning on each of two 6 mile legs of a mornign trip. Here is a report back. The front brake calipers were not really notably different in temp. But the discs were, though just slightly. It was hard to tell, but the front driver side disc was hotter. That wheel also spun slightly less freely than the passenger side front wheel in my test yesterday. This could be warping of the disc? Uneven wear on the pads? I looked up in the shop manual and online how to disassemble and inspect. I'll do that. But if you or anyone else has tips... thanks!
