Default Situational Brake Squeal

I recently changed my front brakes using the same brand I always have. I did the 10 stops at 30mph bedding in. I'm driving around, high speed, low speed all types of stops and turns, no squeal. Yet another successful brake change, so I thought. I go to the store one day and I'm braking in a wide left turn to get into a parking spot and I hear brake squeal.

It doesn't do it all the time though. Just only in left turn braking while parking. Its getting better and doing it less at 500 miles. It'll only occasionally squeal when I'm braking in a left turn down a slight decline while preparing to park in my parking garage. This is the only time the brakes squeal now but not all the time. Maybe 50 percent of the time or less.

That can be so frustrating. Mine only squeal when backing up and I have yet to determine which wheel it is as it sounds like just one.

I did the usual left turn parking and guess what... it didn't squeal.

If I have to suffer with this nuisance, then you guys have to share my pain too. Haha.

I parked today doing the infamous left turn to park and got frigging brake squeal.
