Loud Squeeling from front end

Loud Squeeling from front end
I need help figuring out what this might be. My car is squeeling, almost sounds like it's crying, from the front end. I did a quick brake pad change, but that didn't help. It only happens when the car is warm/hot, never when it's cold. It happens when braking and while not braking. I recently got my clutch changed...could that be a factor? Someone told me it might be my rotors or ball joints.
Any thoughts or help is appreciated.

Check your belts. One might be on the verge of dying or just in need of an adjustment. If it is the belt, it's more than likely the P/S belt. Also check the idler/tension pulleys to insure they're properly tensioning your belt.

+1 for belts ... one or more of the belts may be loose or dry rotted and ready to snap.

I would have guessed front wheel bearings... But after hearing that you've got the timing belt changed, I'll have to agree the rest that it might be a ps/tensioner/belt issue...
