what is wrong with my car

okay.. I have installed TRD struts and Eibach springs on my car (2001 Camry), I have also installed the isolator kit as well.
When I turned my wheel while traveling at a really slow speed (ie: parking), you can hear squeaky sound coming from the front, is it normal?
Recently, my brakes feel funny, I can feel the vibration from brake pedal and hear squeaky sounds coming from the front when I brake. I took my car to DVNLT to check, they cleaned my brake, rotated my tires and examine the brake pad (90% Front, 80% rear) The problems went away for about 1 week, and now, it is getting even wrose. The noise and vibration come out about 80-90% of the time. Furthermore, when I park my park at an incline, after I release the brake pedal and engage the handbrake, you can hear a big squeaky sound coming from the rear suspension. It has never happened before I sent my car to DVNLT for service. Can anyone explain to me what is wrong with my car? Thanks!

the solution...

The brakes are shaky because of the warped rotors, however, your front end is most likely going out, OR have you just not ckecked your power steering fluid!!!
Try it out and report back!
