small squeek noise

I have a 98 camry 4cyl and have replaced the brakes,brake calipers,slides and rotors .Is driving ok except i notice a slight squeek only when going slow 10-35 mph and turning it slightly or fully to right.When going straight or to left it does not make that noise.Also when i place foot on brake lightly it goes away until i let off brake ..I also made sure the dust cover was not rubbing as it was turning.
Any ideas what it may be?

Did you use the anti squeak shims or anti squeak grease on the backs of the pads when they were replaced? In my experience this is the usual cause of a squeak that goes away when the brakes are applied. It is caused by the pads vibrating in the caliper. The shims or the grease eliminate the vibration.

Yes I used it.I didnt notice this till after a few hundred miles on new set.Old brakes didnt have shims(were fine).Sounds like something is rubbing against something . Is only when while driving - if the wheel turns-even a hair toward the right..at 10 to 40 mph..When i tap brake, when turning it lets off or stops till moving again. no noise at all turning wheel to left.

If the above information checks out I would check the wheel bearings. Hope this helps.
