Squeaking... Squeaking... Is the squeking happening when your turning?? Is the sound of the squeaking annoying?? like when you open a door and it sounds like it needs some grease on it? If so, its the ball joint and the squeal sound from the engine is your serpentine belt.. The serpentine belt is the belt that goes on your alternator and AC. Hope i helped!

To check your ball joint, jacked up your car and see if grease is leaking from your ball joint and also, get a crow bar or some thing and wedge it between your balljoint and spindle, move it up and down and see if there's any gap like between the two, if so the ball joint is bad.

Is the squealing coming fron your engine right?? It has to be your serpentine belt. Whens the last time you changed it? look to see if there's cracks on there, for a fast solution you can buy a belt solution to spray on it so it wont squeal at all.

Sure its not coming from the rear? Its common to hear squealing or sounds after replacing rotors for aftermarket ones.
