front brake problems! help!!!!

so here goes- started out wanting to change the front disc brakes and pads cause they were low and the passenger side made considerably more dust. replaced pads, rotors, repacked bearings, and put in new seals. drivin along and at a certain braking point the steering wheel starts shaking and the car shimmys to a stop. WTF?!?!?! went back and checked everything- bearing, pads, rotors, antiseized the bolts. i did find that the bearings made a clicking as the rotor spun and the pads didnt really let go of the discs well. any ideas on whats wrong? also checked the suspension and its pretty tight except for one tierod on pass. side. thanks for your help.

I would recheck the bearings and the spindle to make sure that they don't have flat spots and if the left side has more dust then it's a possiblity that your right caliper might not be working correctly which could be your problem. Check the calipers and the bearing surfaces and a suggestion if you dont know when the last time you replaced the bearings it might be a good idea to do so.
