Alright guys are are the specs

1995 Acura integra 4dr (Four doors for life)

Brand New Rotor Both sides
Brand New Pads Both sides
Brand New Caliper Only the left side

Here is the problem i get a mean shake when i press my brakes around 60mph+ only on the highway. On the local roads no shake. I see soo much brake dust on my left rims only and it smells like brake dust and the right side is fine no brake dust or anything help.

You should replace calipers in pairs. Is it pulling when you brake? You should probably take the right side apart and clean and lubricate the slide pins.

 

I did and it still does it today i jack the car and the driver side wheel was hard to rotate and the passenger side i can turn it easliy

 

The caliper you installed may either be faulty, wrong, or incorrectly installed.

Since I highly doubt you bought a brand new caliper, I'm going to assume it's remanufactured. What brand remanufactured it and where did you buy it? Did it come preloaded with pad springs and clips, and were the slide pins adequately greased? What pads did you install? Did they go in easily and do they move freely in the caliper bracket? Sometimes pad backing plates can be slightly out of spec, causing the pads to stick in the brackets.

It is also possible that the right caliper which you didn't replace is faulty, causing the opposite side to bear the full braking load; this will create an abnormal amount of heat and wear on the working side. Check for a stuck piston (replace or rebuild) or dry/seized slide pins (lube them).

If you're getting a high speed shimmy now, you may have already created uneven friction material deposits on the new rotors, which may or may not be curable with an aggressive pad bedding session. If not, you will probably have to have the rotors turned on a brake lathe, or you could try exchanging them if the retailer has a good warranty/return policy.

Also, why did you do a brake job? Were you having problems prior to this, or were the parts just worn to their service limits?

Not true at all.

 

I also took the liberty of editing your thread title to actually include a reference to the problem.

 

Its a remanufactured cailper brought it from advance auto

It came with slides and everything and i grease the slide pins with cailper lube

The pads i don't know the name but i but them from advance auto brand new
and the pads move freely from the bracket

And a tip today i jack up the car and the driver side was hard to turn but the passenger side i can turn with my finger and the driver side has brake dust all over the rim too.

 

You're going to have to take the wheel off and inspect the left front brake to figure out what is happening. The piston or the slide pins in the new caliper may be stuck.
