Grinding noise that I cannot figure out

I have replaced the wheel bearings, brakes, rotors, calipers, and master cylinder and I still have a grinding noise/slight vibration that can be heard/felt when accelerating or coming to a stop. I have spent hundreds of dollars and I am at my wits end. Any thoughts?

Have you jacked up the car and spun the wheel free hand yet? If so does it still grind? If that is the case, you should be able to pin point it. It is hard to diagnose noises without sound/video clips and in different situations/environments.

is it mainly when driving slowly and applying brakes and appears to come from engine area? could be abs pump kicking in prematurely as per the tsb. I had that problem which eventually lead to burning out abs pump which is very expensive and labor intensive to fix.
