Default Screach when I turn?

WTF? You can hear it in this video when I go around the first corner, it makes a squeak squeak squeak sound as I go around a corner, weird and annoying

check your pads and rotors. Sounds like a wear indicator on a brake pad scratching the rotor.

**** i dunno, hampster on a wheel?

I dont think it'd be a hub berring since you're not getting vibration. Might be suspension related? Or something is rubbing?

How about the power steering pulley? That's where you might also want to look if it only does it when you turn. That is, if it does it when you turn both ways. If it only does it when you make right turns, it could be something else (bearings). I have 96K on mine and never changed the front bearings, no noise. (I know probably should change them anyways though.)

Is it coming from the front driver's side only?

it really does sound like a wear indicator on the pads, did you grease em before you put them on?

Is it only when you turn right? Does it only happen when you hit the brakes? Were you hard on the brakes right after you put them on? If you beat up the new brake before they had a chance to break in the could be squeaking from that. If your not too far away from me, i could look at it for you.

I have never heard of anyone that puts grease on the wear indicators. The wear indicators make contact with the rotor when the pads are worn and need to be replaced. He said he replaced all of the pads so I don't think that's his problem. Also, why would it only make a sound when he was turning?

I had a 96 RS. When making a u-turn to the left,it made a scraping noise. Turned out to be axle end play. The axle slides out enough that the rear caliper bracket hits the rotor. GMs fix is a bracket spacer. Put it on and the noise went away. Try it. JMHO.
