One possible solution (rather far fetched, but hey...): You may have some sort of imbalance in your brake disc, the squeling you describe suggest that the brake pads are in touch with the disc even when you don't use the brakes. Otherwise: check wheelbearings, and make sure the CV-replacement was done properly. The new part _could_ be faulty, you never know.....
