Default new brakes ... some problems

i have brand new aem pads in the front

for some reason i have infinite squeeling and squeking (metal rubbing metal) its so irritating and disgustingly embarassing...

happens every so often when going straight

and happens most on bumps and right turns

any diagnosis please anyone? some ppl say it will go away... but doesnt seem likely

1. Make sure everything is installed properly. Like, making sure pads are on right side up.
2. Check your brake dust shields. They might be bent. Even if it is slightly bent It will rub on the tie rods or rotor.

Did you apply caliper grease to the shims and all contact points between them and the pads?

Also, when i was messing with my Legend and ITR upgrades, one thing that would happen is the caliper brackets on the bottom of the caliper would reposition itself at an angle and would cause rubbing.
