ON the Front passenger side their is a squeak when i turn the wheel to the left.

I just got pads and rotors all the way around... I had these pads on the old rotors for about 200 miles then i bought new rotors.

When I am driving and turn the wheel to the left, the pad is rubbing the rotor making a noise. If going fast or slow it still makes the noise... just at a different speed... faster= faster noise.

If i am going around a corner and turning to the left it makes the noise, when i make a left into my driveway it makes the same noise.

It is only the front passenger tire.

I have coupe 19's with General exclaiims, it has been making this noise for about 5k miles and I can't figure it out...

I talked to the dealership by me and they told me its because i didn't use the shims that came with the car, but I didn't have them on my car with the last set of pads, nor can i get any of the other wheels to make the same noise.

Help me out Guys...

The sound it makes is like when you are almost out of pads and that little metal pin rubs the rotor to tell you that you need new pads...

well you NEED to use shims for it. Otherwise there will be squeaking and the pads wear out faster. Part number for your shim kit is 41080-AR026.It may be your backing plate rubbing on the rotor also.

Ok I will check the backing Plate... I bet anything that is what it is...

Remember I just lowered my car not to long ago and that tire gave me problems when i was doing the swapping out of the parts... I bet I bent the backing plate or dust shield...

is Dust Shield=backing plate?

It has shims just not the nissan ones...

Yup, I had a similar issue. I was commuting through an area where they repaved the road using the chip and seal method. I tried to avoid it because rocks were flying everywhere but had to go through it a couple times. I had a rock wedge itself between the dust shield and when I turned, the shield would rub on the rotor. I found it quickly and there wasn't any damage to the rotor.
