When we accelerate and turn wheel to the right the left wheel make a grinding squeeky sound. It does not make the same sound during left turns. The brakes seem to work fine.

Hi dbarnet,

Brakes migh work fine but are the pads running out?

Another thing to check is the backing plate, most probably it is too near the rotor.
Turning of the wheels causes some shearing which makes the backing plate brushes against the rotor.
