I replaced my front brake pads and rotors and now they grind and squeal worse than the old ones. New pads, new rotor. Any ideas?

  Can you distinguish if the noise is coming from one or both front wheels?If so take off that wheel and recheck the assembly of the brake pads. With the vehicle jacked up spin both front wheels do you hear a sound? If so could a dust/water shield have come in contact with the disc during the pad replacement.
