Default Brakes Squealing?

A couple days ago there was a loud sqealing noise every time i pressed the brakes. I changed the front brake pads and it didnt make a difference. The wierd thing is that it only makes the sound if I turn or lean the car to the right. When I use my brakes and turn right at the same time that is when the sound is the worst. If its not my brake pads what else could it be?

did you chk the rear brakes ?? also chk for a small pebble possibly caught in between rotor and backing plate and as suggested chk the rotors for grooves, hot spots,
and 1 last thing
INPUT year and model in YOUR SIGNATURE ,, so we will know if you got shoes or disc brakes on the rear

Honda disk brakes are prone to squealing if the anti-squeal is disturbed during installation. I use one of the little plastic packs per wheel and grease the hell out of the pad backings especially where there are wear marks on the old pads. When I bought my car, I almost had it lemon law'd because the genious Ford mechanics couldn't get the brakes to stop making noise. I guess that's why Ford stands for Fix Or Repair Daily! Eventually, I forced the President of the dealership to negate my extended warrantee through them and buy me one from Honda as well as to pay Honda to do their certification tests on it.

Back to the point, anti-squeal lubricant might be your problem.
