'94 miata with 102k.

brakes have 4000 miles on them. new axxis pads, napa's nicest rotors, and nugeon calipers.

brakes function excellent. but, if i make a hard right turn AND touch the brake pedal the left brake squeals like i'm on the wear tab.

is that a wheel bearing? everything seemed tight last i checked.

OH boy, does sound like a wheel bearing, but I can't picture the rear brake setup right now.

Check to make sure the dust shields on the backside of the rotor aren't making contact.

I'm having this same issue at the moment. I was having this issue before replacing the front disc, pads, hub assembly and bending back the left dust shield. I guess I need to check the right side...

Check the upper ball joints. My old Miata made the same noise when the ball joints went bad.
