Jack up your Jeep
Go to each wheel and spin by hand
The wheel that is hard to spin is where the issue is
The problem you have is that you want to be told
"replace this and your problem is solved"
and you want people who don't drive you Jeep
to tell you this
It can not be done
You trouble shot your problem and thought it was brakes
but failed to completely eleminate them as the problem
I can think of several things that will make groaning or
grinding noise on the front end of a Jeep
1 being a caliper sticking and that could be caused
by a bad brake line
Do this
1) jack up all 4 wheels off of the ground
2) start the engine
3) press the brakes hard
4) turn off engine
5) try to spin each front wheel by hand
If you can then it is not the brakes
If you find that 1 is making noise
Remove that wheel listen to the bearing
and/or the cv joint to find the noise
If no noise then get it aligned
