Hi,
Sounds like a missing brake spacers and brake pad clips when you installed the new ones.
Check again the brake pads and make sure you have sand down the rotors w/ 220 grit sand paper.
Hope that helps you out.
Thanks for asking FixYa!

What is wrong with 2004 Hyundai santa fe 4wd only front wheels spin hear a noise and see tcs light come on but no change to rear wheels

Sounds like transfer case is not being activated. The vehicle is front wheel drive with an electronic activated transfer case to put power to rear wheels. The traction control (TCS) could also be putting on rear brakes so hard it is not letting them turn but sounds like transfer case not working. Note - If you run these vehicles in air (all wheels off ground) it does not like it and will turn on TCS, stability control, and other things.

I do think the same way. If the pads look flat and not so worn have the rotor turned to eliminate the squeaksyou are encountering

Grinding noise from front right. rotors seem okay and I can turn the rotor with ease. Is it the wheel bearing?

Does it happen all the time or when brakes are applied? Usally a bad bearing will cause a growling noise. I would check both the brake pads on the right side. Often the inner pad will wear off, then you have metal against metal, causing a grinding noise.

Front wheels are making a loud shreiking sound

Means it is time to change out your brake pads. Get the pads replaced soon and you only replace the brake pads. Wait too long and you have to replace the rotors as well.

Good Luck

How to remove rear brake rotors on a 2004 Santa Fe

THE REAR BRAKE ROTOR IS A LOOSE ROTOR AND SHOULD COME OFF EASILY. IF NOT, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE ROTOR IS HELD BY RUST ONTO THE HUB OR THE BRAKE SHOES IS STILL EMBEDDED INTO THE ROTOR. REMOVE THE HANDBRAKE CABLE TO ENSURE THAT THE BRAKESHOES COLLAPSE AND TRY TO LOSEN IT AGAIN. IF SEASED ONTO THE HUB BY RUST, KNOCK THE ROTOR WITH A COPPER HAMMER TO BRAKE THE RUST WITH A RUST REMOVER.
