The car had that corner wheel bearing replaced just before I bought it which is when I'm guessing the d.shaft damage was done.  I'm wondering now if there is an underlying problem somewhere: 

What if caliper is seized (hence distorted disc)? 
Is disc runout and the chirping noise associated with a poorly fitted wheel bearing?
Would anything related to these symptoms have stressed the CV joint, damaging that?

BTW Chirping noise disappears under braking, with "feedback" under braking through the car.

Its round at the garage now.

Just shy of 2 weeks ownership and I'm hit with this!   :sad:

CV Gaitor is definitely shot - wheel is covered in grease!

If the wheel does not freely spin when raised off ground is chirping noise in motion a knackered disc or other issue such as driveshaft CV or bearing?  Would ABS affect this spinning?

Bearing was replaced 600/700 miles ago.

Any experience/knowledge/guidance appreciated!
