Default squeaking coming from front end

i have this problem a little while now i thought it was something to do with the brakes as it sounds like metal grinding when about 30mph but when i slow almost to a stop it sounds like the tyres now i have just put a set of 225 40 18 hankook ventus evo 12 s on and they are on correctly running the right direction the pressure is at 34 psi but its not making the noise at the rear just both sides at the front.

i have changed my brake pads and discs to a set from godspeed today there was a lot of rust build up but i have ground all of that off

i have followed there instructions from them so cant be the braking system

i have gone to drive off and still the same sound coming from the front end does any1 have any ideas wot this issue could be also i am getting a clicking sound too

heres a link to my facebook page photobucket is being ****

I had very similar and my problem is outer cv joint! Is it a `rotational squeak`, i.e. gets quicker as you go faster?

I bought a used one and that was worse than my old one so I priced up a new one at Threeways in ABERGELE and it`s £300 just for the outer cv
