My brakes squeal the first couple times after I start my car every day but after that they are normally fine. Is this something I should get checked out or is it just getting warmed up from sitting all night? What would the repair cost labor + parts be for all wheels? I am thinking it would just be brake pad replacement?

Also, recently, my car started making weird, maybe ABS (almost a deep popping noise), sounds when I take left turns, especially sharp ones. My grandfather just got my wheels aligned, my front rubber boots replaced and I think he said my link pin was replaced as well. What could it be?

Thanks!

Squeling from braking usually indicates that the brake pads are wearing thin and need replacing. As for the popping noise, need to check out the balljoint, wheel bearing and suspension components in front. If all are OK it could be failing axle.
