On the brakes or off them?
Is it a squeak-squeak-squeak or just one squeak?

Sounds like brake drag, you should find that LIGHTLY applying the foot brake while cornering will stop it. I'd knock the wheels off and have a look, chances are one of the caliper slides is sticking. Nobody ever greases them when they change the pads!

i had a squeek that was caused because the hub was screwed. Replaced the hub all good.

i get the same noise occasionally, it's usually just a build up of dust and dirt etc.. quick wash out with the gerni and it's all good. or a few dabs of the brake pedal. still it could be something a bit more nasty like a hub as bobuleh stated.
