Installed new brake pads... now weird noise from FR wheel when turning...

hey i just installed axxis ultimate brake pads and now most of the time when i make a right turn i get this weird noise coming from my front right wheel. its like a humming/rubbing sound kind of. it only happens on right turns not left. any idea what it may be? any thanks would be thankful!

Check the metal shield in back of the rotor. Maybe you bent it and now it rubs on the rotor.

Did you put new shims in or reuse the old ones?

Did you put the anti rattle clips in the correct spot?

I actually had this myself, except on the right side. When I took the wheel of and looked at the pads, I found a lip was being created. So I *carefully* ground the lip down to bring it to the same level as the rest of the pad, and put it back on, being sure to line it up correctly. I think it wasnt lined up correctly originaly. Now I have put over a 1000 miles on it since, and no problems.
