After replacing the rack and pinion, CV axles, ball joints and wheel bearings there is a random high pitch screech?

I just replaced my rack and pinion, my CV axles, my ball joints and wheel bearings because they were very worn. When I drive, I hear a random high pitch screech (not squeal). I also hear scraping when I turn left and sometimes right. When I get up to 65mph and more my car starts shaking a lot and it begins to feel like my steering wheel is light and loose. Before all this my car would just randomly shake primarily on the left-hand side and when I would get on the highway at about 70 it would shake and then it would stop shaking when I hit 80. I just spent a whole lot of money trying to fix it and the car seems like it’s worse than before. I tried to add a video so you can hear the sounds it’s making. I’m not an expert but I know that isn’t right. What is the problem?

This is one of the videos. You may hear better with headphones on.

Hi,

I did hear a noise. To me, it sounds like a bearing. Does it change in volume or intensity when turning? Did you have any problems when installing the new wheel bearings?

Did you have the vehicle aligned?

Let me know.
