Squeals When Braking to the Left?

This is very odd I'm guessing it has to do with my brake pads but it only happens when I brake while turning to the left. As I press down and turn even ever so slightly to the left my brakes squeal very very loudly. It doesnt happen if I'm going straight or turning to the left while braking. Any ideas? I'll probably take off the front tires and inspect the pads and rotors soon.

Take you wheels off. Check everything. Check that the calipers are tight. Check that the rotor is seated correctly. Check that the pads are seated correctly. Check that you're not missing a retaining pin. Check that the little spring retainer thingy is still positioned correctly. You get the idea.

Then, if you still have the squeal, go buy some caliper lube and follow the instructions here:

In particular the bit about where to lubricate your pads.
