Front end squealing

So a few weeks ago my fiance had her driver and passenger side wheel bearings done along with the brake pads. After that was done she had her front end aligned. Last Wednesday the ABS light came on and a squealing/screeching sound started coming from the front end and her alignment was off.

I was wondering what might be the problem and if it is a problem can it be fixed for cheap or is it expensive?

Thank you

We cannot tell the cost until what is wrong with it. If it was aligned last week there should be no charge for that as somebody messed up. Have it diagnosed first. A sensor may be bad or an abs problem as it needs scanning for codes first.

She took it back to get to get it re-aligned. She has had the tone ring go bad once before. So I do not know if a bad tone ring would cause a bad squealing sound.

It could if it were rubbing against something or fell off. It also could be a dust shield on brakes rubbing as well.
