Default wining, screech and clunk help

hey guys I have an 07 wrx, lately everytime I brake on a turn or a traffic light I hear a whinning noice on my front wheel, also when I reverse out if the garage and brake in the mornings I hear a screeching sound, and sometimes there is a clunk when I hit a bump on the same wheel, I recently put on new springs, and replaced both front endlinks, everything else is stock, anyone know what it could be?

screech when braking in reverse is normal. i believe its because of the way the pads are bedded in that you are going against the grain

clunk is most likely the endlinks, they do that

whine im not sure of... could be a wheel bearing if the car is old enough

STI??? You dont have your diff. in Lock do you??? I made the mistake of locking once and car was not happy with me. lol

Started clunking and screaching at low speeds, especialy when turning.

What sort of whine? Are you talking chainsaw, RC car, blender, electric shaver or hair dryer?
