when I turn my car to the left I hear a squealing noise from the passenger side wheel t sounds like friction. I have recently had two new brake pads put in the front wheels so I am stuck on what the problem could be?

Does the sound change if you use the brakes?

If I can put my two cents in, I would check the dust shield on that side because it sounds like it maybe hitting the rotor as it turns.

Let us know what you find

If the sound changes based on speed, I would consider perhaps a wheel bearing.
