Ok heres the deal, I thought that i needed to have my front brake pad's done because there was a slight dragging/squealing sound.But i have noticed the sound mostly happens when i turn a corner.Any ideas?

 

turning corners or turning corners when braking?

 

ball joints or wheel bearings...

 

It seemed like turning corners and breaking, but if it was the ball joints or wheels bearings would it do it while just going in a straight line?

 

try this, jack up you car on by the wheel its doing it, and try and move the rim back and forth like the way camber works \ and /, if that does that let us know, or side to side...

 

okay i too am having the squealing noises, but these wheel bearings are new. So my guess would be the ball joints what should i do??? inject grease into the boots?? would that solve the problem????

 

Ball joints don't make a "squealing" brake noise.... Your brakes might look fine, and they'll still squeal... what pads are you running? when you turn, the cornering loads will cause the pad to just "touch" the rotor, hence possibly squealing.... A high quality pad (IE-Honda) will cure this

C'mon guys... Honda's have floating disks.... they're probably JUST loose enough to let the squeeler touch when cornering.... Happened to me before... Side load put more pressure on it and caused it to touch!

well actually mine is not really a squealing noise more like a deep scraping. Also i just replaced my axles and when i turn really fast, and only when i turn fast it make like a clicking/clunking noise that almost sounds like a bad cv joint but i know it can't be becuz i just replaced them. Also the sound is repeats fast even when going slow the sound doesn't get faster as i go faster like ususal cv joints. SO what do you think it could be??

 

im aware of this, but if your ball joint is moving, your rotors will move slightly and can cause a squealing sound, just like a wheel bearing, which cause more of a scraping sound, this is what happened to me before and the culpret (sp.) was a wheel bearing...
