Default issue with tire squealing and steering

After changing the tire rods and lower ball joints of the gs300 2nd gen, i accidental must have broken the abs sensor, cant find a break in the wire. changed tires and aligned, only recently i had the windows down and radio off and noticed that sometimes driving straight my wheels will sqeal like they are skidding. usually if it goes away and smooths out it will happen again when I hit a bump. But that isn't the only issue. the tires will also pull to either side and if i turn really sharp it will pull faster towards the end of the turn. I had the wheels off the ground and spun the front tires, it would make a small noise and seem to do it at the same point in the turn. I hope someone understands what i am saying, i can only assume it is 2 of the 3 probably issues.....
1. rotors are either warped or rusted
2. bearings are shot
3. cv joint messed up?

thx in advance.

You didn't mention getting an alignment after the install. If you didn't, it's probably off and you're eating your tires.

You have all the symptoms of a wrong alignment.

Ah missed it. You still have all the symptoms though. Might want to take it some place else and try again. 1/2 the alignment shops don't know what they're doing.
