You probably have frozen brake caliper slider pins or a frozen brake caliper piston on one side.

You need to check for caliper slide.....if the caliper does not slide evenly, the wear will be uneven. If your slide bolts are gummed up, rusty or seized, you will get uneven brake wear.

Worn brake pads or a defective wheel bearing. If it only growls under braking it is the pads. If it growls all the time and more so when making a turn it is the wheel bearing. Inspect your brake pads/rotor and wheel bearings if necessary.

After changing pads and rotors and spraying antidust compound on the back of the pads on a 98 Saturn SL2 how do you stop squealing from your front brakes?

Cheap brake pads will squeel. If you bought cheap brake pads, that's probably it. Also, make sure you apply brake grease to the back of your pads (do NOT apply the grease to the side of the pad coming into contact with the rotor, apply it to the other side coming into contact with the caliper). If you don't apply break grease, this will also cause squeeling.

If only one wheel is grabbing, check the opposite side for problems like a frozen caliper, pinched brake line, a restricted brake hose or a bad grease seal allowing grease to get on to the rotor.
