Noises in the front driver's side wheel well

First off I had a wheel bearing replaced on the front driver's side and when I got it back I heard a different noise. Took it back to the shop because I thought that dirt or a small rock got in the brakes when it was apart. Turns out it's just a warped rotor. I knew I needed new brakes and this wasn't something I wasn't already expecting.

I haven't gotten around to it yet because I still had a little bit of life left in the pads and as time went on the noise got louder. I'll be ordering new rotors and pads tonight to take care of that. I was just driving today and now whenever I make a right turn, I can hear a creaking. Is this just the warped rotor rubbing the wrong way or is this an axle problem? The noise happens even when I don't apply the brakes and doesn't make a sound when I make a left turn.
I'll be taking it to the shop Monday but I figured if someone had this same thing happen to them I could just get a heads up on what to expect.
Thanks.

Just got the Maxi back today and the brake problem is fixed but it still squeaks when I make right turns. Turns out I need new struts. So looks like I'll be riding around with squeaky struts for a while. At least it's not as loud as the brakes were.
