Default Getting Funny clinking after brake job on '93 Accord

I had the rotors and pads replaced on my '93 Accord EX Coupe...

Now it's making a loud clinking noise when I turn right. Only when I turn the wheel pretty far, like turning onto a side street. Not when I turn to change lanes, etc. It will clink one or two times as I turn, and then another one or two times as I'm coming out of the turn.

Any ideas? I mean, obviously the guys who did the brakes did something, but I want to know WTF I'm talking about when I go in and call them on it...

Thanks guys.

Bumping this up...

I could use any knowledge you guys might have; This started after the brake job and I don't want the garage to tell me it's not their fault if it was.

I also don't want to be a total moron and call them on it if it's not their fault and just a huge coincidence.

The only thing that comes to mind is IF they installed aftermarket pads that are a little loose in the brackets. A common complaint would be hearing the brake pads 'Click' when changing from foward to reverse and stepping on the brake. Try to see if you can wiggle the brake pad up and down in it's holding bracket. To prove this you could put a shim made from a business card under the ends of the pad where it rides in the bracket. Also it Might be that the rotor is shifting on the hub a little if the aftermarket rotors didn't have screw holes in them to attach them correctly.
This is one of those situations that is hard to diagnose without being able to see it.

Make sure the wheel lug nuts are tight also.
