Default suspension problem, help!

here's the problem,

whenever i take a hard right turn i get some high pitch skweeling sounds like something is rubbing possibly. took of the tire, looked around, but everything looks ok. i drive an 92 civic lowered about 2 inches(still a finger and a half gap), can anyone help me out?? thanks.

Did you check your brake pads? Are the wear sensors hitting the rotor?

Wheel bearings? Is the sound coming from the front or rear? Jack the car up and wiggle the wheel from side to side. If there is some play then you possibly have a wheel bearing problem. Als, check to make sure your lug nuts are tight.

too much body roll?? maybe,, but it only happens when i turn right, not left,

not the brake pads,, cause i still have like 90% brakes on the front

maybe the wheel bearings,, yah it's coming from the front,, the left side i think. i'll check that out.

Is the backing plate hitting the rotor?
