Problems after some front end work

Not having good luck here. '64 c10, what ive done ECE disk brake swap with drop spindles & 1.5in drop springs, went ahead and changed upper & lower ball joints while it was apart. My problems, loud squeeling when going down the road, when turning both ways it feels like the wheel/tire is flopping around . Breaks work good. Jacked it up & removed wheels twice and everything looks ok. Tried shaking wheels while it was on jack stands, everything feels tight. Wheels spin free while jacked up, not dragging. Any ideas what to look for next? Im all out of ideas.. Thanks

Ball joints and outer tie rods are fit in the new drop spindle just like they fit in the old one? Can you see any rub marks from the squealing?

Yep. went back together just like it came apart. Cant see any marks from the rubbing anywhere. It sounds awful, like a very loud dull metal on metal sound. Im pretty sure i packed all my bearings good. Followed ECE instructions on seating the bearings. Im scared to drive it too much, i dont want to tear a spindle or something up.

Post 6 again, stainless brake line looks like it loops up high. Does it rub the inside of the tire?? Look for witness marks.
