Default Groaning noise when turning.

I have a 1999 jeep grand Cherokee.
When driving if I turn left or right my jeep sounds like she's groaning, along with a poppy cracking noise.

We thought it was my bearings, so we changed the hub assembly's (the bearings were shot) but the noise continues,
The tires aren't rubbing, the brakes and rotors are new, but the sound still occurs.
Is there something I'm missing? Had anyone had these problems before?

Have you checked the rear end bearings? Are you sure the noise is coming from the front end?

Does the noise sound like it's from the front, rear or middle of the Jeep? Also is it AWD?

Sound to me like it could be the steering box.
