Got a squeak that won't go away...

Well I have an annoying squeak that is coming from the passenger side. At first it was only during so I put new pads on which did need replacing. It's still there and now appears just while driving, it's not constant either. The hub is also brand new, car drives fine otherwise. Could this just be the new pads, I know some can squeal real bad, the pads have been in since last friday.
 


Where did you have the brakes done? There's 2 metal 'clips' that snap into the caliper bracket, and if they aren't cleaned/lubed, the pads will squeak whenever they move... A lot of small shops won't do this, or take the floater pins out of said bracket to clean and lube them. Therefore creating uneven brake pad/rotor wear...
 
WD40+heat=fire. lol, I'm not taking that chance. Besides everything needs grease. I'll get in there and regrease everyhting and see if that helps.

Also squeaks when I take a right turn, nothing turning left.
 
Lol, i was just messin wit u. Its just i saw some hispanic guys doin that 2 a lincoln that was squeaking, they spayed everywhere un der the car. I was crackin up.
 


But honestly, it could be the ball joints. Had a mustang that squeaked when i hit a bump and turned right. Check them out.
 
Also noticed that it's squealing till I get up to around 30, it's much more faint than it was last week with another new hub. Hopefully this brake quiet stuff will work, this ****'s annoying. and embarrassing to me to.
 
have you checked the back of the rotor to see if there is something rubbing. Check the bracket that holds your abs sensor, sometimes the bottom of the bracket can be bent in and could be rubbing the back side of your rotor.
 
Stupid me didn't even think about the rear pads, it was them. Just always sounded like it was from the front.
