Default Groan from front left wheel area

Hi all.

I have noticed this groan since I had an alignment on my car about 6 months ago. Was noticeable when turning sharply. Was infrequent. Now it has got to always there, almost, when pulling away from a stop. Only seems to be after I’ve used the brakes.

Now I’ve had a **** show with brakes, and have recently replaced the front pads and discs TWICE. I attributed the noise to the brakes , brake moan, maybe a dragging pad. So yesterday I thoroughly cleaned the callipers, filed everything smooth and applied a dab of silicone grease to the surfaces that meet.

Noise is still there. Passenger in the car today said it felt and sounded like it was coming from under his feet, towards the engine on his right side.

Anyone got any inklings, as it’s driving me nuts!!!!!????
