Default Im getting a weird noise and bad smell.

ok so I just replaced my brake pads and now when ever I turn left (without applying the brakes) my rear driver side tire makes a weird grinding like noise and when I got out to check it out, the tire it was coming from was really hot and smelt very bad. I cant see anything thats wrong. Has anyone ever had the same issue? maybe you could help. Thanx

Sounds like a caliper is seizing up. Did you lube up the pins?
