Default Grinding / Clunking

I just did a complete brake kit on my car after noticing that my front calipers were stuck. I installed a stoptech sport kit with drilled rotors and SS lines, re-manned power stop front calipers and I rebuilt the rears myself. Everything has been good so far, until last night. I was driving home and started to hear a squealing noise from the passenger side front. It got a bit worse, and seemed to get a little better if I turned left, and a little worse if turning right. The car didn't shudder or pull at all. When I hit the brakes a loud rumbling sound started, and if i came to a stop or braked harder it made a loud clunking sound that I could feel. The car did seem to ride a little rougher over bumps as well. Any ideas on what it could be? I was thinking wheel bearing but the squealing sound starts at very low speeds. This all started after a 100 mile highway trip home. I will be lifting the car later today to take a look.

Thanks.

I figured it out. The lower bolt holding the caliper mounting bracket came out. I must not have tightened it all the way when I replaced my brakes.
