Default Sceetch when turning left.

I have a 04 s2k with 64k miles on it. I noticed today then when i make left turns, at any speed, I have a decently loud screetching sound comming from what seems to be my front right wheel area. It does it when i drive rough or calm. It doesnt click and it does do it sometimes. It's constant whenever im making any amount of a left turn, and its always a solid screetch noise. Any suggestions?

update: i check it out today and nothing seems out of the ordinary. The car doesnt make the noise in reverse, only while moving foward. At any speed, and still only while turning any amount to the left. It is def. comming from the front right wheel.

Have you had the car aligned? That's where I would start... It probably needs to be done anyway.

It's probably the squealer tab on the worn out brake pad contacting the rotor . . .

Or the squealer tab on the worn out rotor contacting the brake pad.

yeah i agree with the squealer... if it starts happening all the time instead of just left turns then its your brakes... you can either remove the squealer tab or replace your pads completely... and if u have an AP2, i suggest you get AP1 brake pads... even though they dont bite as well, the brake dust is significantly reduced... ohhh and if u do decide to remove the squealer, depending on how you drive, youll have only a few hundred miles before the brakes are completely shot...
