Im so ticked

I got cheap Advance auto parts whear ever brakes the silver brand and the rotors I put everything on and they squeak on turns and once and a while when im going straight. They really don't squeak when I brake. I bend the silencer and they were mint but then after 10 min there were real bad.

Should I buy better brakes or better rotors. They are new brakes and rotors in the back. I have low funds so they were the choice. I used that brake paste just to let you know.

I'm not sure, but I think those are semi-metallic pads; and because of that they will squeel at times; just the nature of semi-metallic pads. If you want to get completely rid of the squeel, get a set of ceramic pads.

Yes they are semi metallic

They got better but when you take sharp turns you can hear them. Can you install brake pads on the wrong side? Happen to a friend and said switch your brakes from the back passenger side to the driver and vice- versa.

Certain cars are side-sensitive, but not ours.

I need help!!

The squeaking kinda went away but when I make slow or fast sharp turns I can hear the brakes grinding into the rotors without applying the brakes. If I take sharp turns it squeals so loud that it scares me.

When I apply the brakes in the corner they DON'T SQUEAL!!!
