Front wheels groaning when reach 35 mph .louder as speed increases

What is it? I really need help here guys. It also happens when turning left but goes away when turning right. I replaced my shocks just before this started. What did I do wrong? Or is this something else?

Is it more like a howling? If so, it is probably wheel bearings and nothing to do with the shock install. Typically, but not always, when turning into the bad bearing, the noise goes away and turning opposite of the bad bearing the noise gets worse.

Make sure the axle nut isn't loose.

AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!
