while backing out of my driveway turning the steering wheel around the corner I hear a low pitched sound of metal rubbing coming from the front two wheels?..any suggestions of the problem?

Another is I had recently had my front two rotors replaced. Since getting the car back there has been an increase of a squeaky noise coming from the front two wheels..any suggestions?

I appreciate your concern as to the noise from the front end, noises can be particularly difficult to diagnose from cyberspace. If there is a safety concern about the brakes I suggest returning the vehicle to the technician that replaced the rotors and having the work re-inspected. Brake noise can range to several things from non original equipment items to improper installation. Repost if more assisstance is required.
