Question Brakes rub when turning

Hi all,
If I drive in a strate line all is fine.

Turn left, right front brake rubs.
Turn right, left front brake rubs.

Is it only slight, but bugging.

Brakes are 6 grooved and all most new.

Thanks
Ian

Wheel bolts all torqued up and hubs feel ok, I didn't really notice it with the standard discs and pads. Could it be something to do with being grooved discs? Have only driven around 5 miles max on them so far

Get them bedded in and see if the noise stops. could just be the tiny clearance between pad and disc cos it's new like innit

Had this on mine a few years back,
Make sure the disc backing plates are not bent after your brake install. They can rub when you turn and make a scraping noise.
Just wip the wheel off and push them away from the discs.
