Default Brakes Help Please

I like the new forum but hope it's as helpful as the old one was. Since installing Teds floaters I've had lots of problems with shuddering of the brakes. Finally we traced it to out of round drums and a loose tie rod end Thats all fixed now and the car drives and stops straight with no shudder. However when I apply the brakes when I'm travelling slowly and turning left I get a groaning vibrating sound from the left front wheel area. Doesn't happen if I'm not turning or if I'm turning right . What gives ?? I can't work this one out -Thanks Karl

check for possibly loose bearings allowing the drum to shift and mis align from the shoes
