Default CV axles replaced, now more noise

I have an 94 Accord with ~85,000 miles on it. I had some clicking in one of the CV joints, so I had both front ones replaced with remanufactured parts at some quickie place (I had to leave on a trip the next day).

Anyway, after that was done I noticed a new squealing/squeak sound when I would turn at low speeds. It's a mechanical squeak, not a tire pressure sound. It sounded to me in my admittedly limited car knowledge to be the wheel bearings. It was kind of an on again-off again thing, and it would happen on both sides.

Then yesterday I got a horrible constant loud high pitched screeching sound from my front left tire which sounds like my brakes are grinding. The only strange part is that the sound goes away when I apply the brakes.

So what I'd like to know is what I should do about getting this fixed. Do I have a break problem on top of a bearing problem now? Or any other suggestions? Is it possible any of this has been caused by shoddy work at the CV place? I had no problems with front end noise of this nature until I went there, and they have a guarantee/warranty in place. I'm just unsure if I'm justified in blaming them, and want to be sure in the likely event they deny that they could have caused anything like this. Thanks.
