Who knows brakes?

I recently just installed some new Hawk HPS brake pads in my stock calipers up front. The Hawk pads are very aggressive and stop great. They are a bit noisy when they get warmed up, and they're very dusty, but that's another gripe for later.

Anyway, on to my main question. I took the truck on a joy ride on US129 on Easter Sunday. After a day of driving and mostly mild braking, there was quite a bit of brake dust on my front wheels, but there seemed to be much less on the passenger side as on the right. Also, the right side seemed to squeal much more under light braking and going into steep left hand turns. Is this an indication of the passenger side caliper not having enough clamping pressure?

You can see the differences in the photos below.
