Is it only noticeable while moving slow...? As you accelerate it goes away...?
That would be a bad drive shaft u-joint.

I had a problem at RC once where something had lodged somewhere between the front rotor and probably the backing plate.  That made a loud squeal until it fell out (before I had a chance to find it and locate it exactly).  The squeal was noticeable while the jeep was moving, with or without brake.

Although, I would have thought something like that would have cleared itself on the ride home at least.  Anyway worth a look to see if something is wedged in there.  It's probably not that easy though.

Front disc brakes?  If so, maybe the caliper is stuck?

I would bet money its just your bust shield on the back of the caliper.. just bend it towards the center of the jeep and it should take care of it..

Rick - 1
Everyone Else - Keep trying  ;D

Now, get under there at least twice a year and apply grease to help avoid the issue again.

However it did come from a family that goes wheelin' with a snorkle & goggles mounted on the inside of each door.
I know he speaks from experience.

No, they hope when it goes "down under" that the front end "antlers" are visible in the event of a "Search-N-Rescue" mission.
But I doubt they would need it. They are a vibrant family and adapt to the elements quite well.
