about a month ago i replaced my steering rack with no problem. 2 days ago i replaced my outer tie rods without any problems other than my steering wheel being in the wrong place, I could rotate it 3/4 spins to the rights and more than 2 full turns to the left. today i tried fixing it by taking out the tie rods, lining up the wheels and putting them back in. when trying to test if it worked my wheels would squeal constantly while rolling but quietly, whenever i tried to turn it would spike up and be extremely loud, i could easily hear it over blasting music and windows up. i put it back on jacks and noticed it was the brakes making the noise. idk if i missed a step or if its actually something else making the noise but im not sure what else it would be, also im not sure how tie rod replacement messed with my brakes especially when they dont need to be replaced. i never got the realignment done because of a busy schedule but was planning on doing it the next few days if i didn't get this problem.

 

Make sure the dust shield for the rotor isn't touching. They bend fairly easy.

 

As tuzzio mentioned, make sure your dust shields aren't rubbing the rotors, this is the most logical source of the noise considering the prior work done recently.

But, something else worth checking...I would do a quick wheel play check. With the front of the vehicle supported, front wheels off the ground, grab tires @ 10 & 2 O-clock positions and give a shake/tug. Then do the same @ 12 & 6 O-lock positions. If you have any noticeable play or looseness in the wheel, there's a chance you have a bad wheel bearing. The goal of this test is check for play and then isolate the source. It's not always the wheel bearing, it could be bad bushings, ball joints, or tie-rod ends.

That being said, a really bad wheel bearing could create both steering alignment problems and rotor alignment issues with your brake caliper. If the noise is observed from both front wheels at the same time, then it's unlikely both wheel bearings failed at the same time, so the source of the problem could be from something else. Still worth a look all the same.
Cheers!
