have 2000 bravada and when lightly hit brakes when slowly moving getting a groaning noise from front brakes, sound is not a screech or crunch like groaning noise. used grease in the right places but still makes noise when applying brakes at very slow speed only. thank you

Have you recently changed out your front brake pads?

It's probably the new pads not broke in with the glazed rotor. I had some that groaned a year before they finally got quiet.
I'm not sure what the "glaze" consists of, maybe the binder that holds some pads material together.
I guess the rotor glaze could be cut by lightly sanding them with some 320 sanding discs just enough to take the shine off.
