I just changed my front wheel bearings. Before they were making this noise and when ever I went to brake the brakes seem to get stiff for a sec and you hear this sound in the front wheels. Now they were doing this before I changed the bearings which was the problem. I changed them and they were fine for about a week and a half. Now the sound is back and the same problem is going on. What else can I do. I will return these to the parts store becasue I got the warranty on them, and put a new set on. Is there anything else I need to look for besides that. It also does it when I am turning left or right.

Check for rust flakking off from the calipers and rotors. If it didi it before and you changed the bearings then it's not the bearings. It could be rust flaking off and falling on the axle and getting inside the axlebearing area an dmaking noise against the spindle.
