I recently purchased a used 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 Limited with
QuadraDrive. The problem is whenever I make turns, such as a drive
thru, I get this horrible grinding moaning noise coming from the front
end. I don't know what to do or what it is. Anyone have this problem.

- Thanks for the input.

I'd be checking the CV Joints on the front axle for split boots.
(although that's usually a popping noise on turns)

It could also be your front diff is toast. But that tends to make
noise no matter what.

Check the CV joints first.

Do you have oversized tires with the mud and snow tread that could
be rubbing on tight turns.

Closely inspect the tire wear on your front tires. If the left/right tire
wear is uneven, this could be the culprit.

I have the same make, model, and year Jeep, with Quadradrive and v8. It
groaned terribly on sharp, slow turns. Mechanic said I had a bad tie rod,
causing uneven wear. He recommended replacing the tie rod, and getting
new tires. I feel that the tires have about 10K miles more of service.

The front tires were worn more (and uneven wear) than the rear, so I
rotated them. The problem disappeared.
