Ok guys, help me out.
Just had a big rain and had my first chance to take my Jeep out in some of the mud pits. Here's short video of me out there.

There's three things I've noticed that seem a bit off. When turning I feel something in the steering column. Almost as if something catches somewhere inside the column. As far is the sound goes, it sounds like a popping. It was occasionally do it before but now its more severe.
The belt in the front seems to squeak on start up. I'm sure this is a simple fix. Not sure how to elaborate on the sound of it. I hear cars with this sound all the time. It goes away after running for a little.
Now this is the one that I'm worried about the most. Every time that I'm braking loud hum coming from the front. Almost as if 2 things are rubbing that aren't supposed to be touching. It only happens when I'm braking at low speeds like 15 and below. Anything above seems normal. I'm not sure if the mud just got in the way of some grease/oil of something. But this is a pretty loud noise.
Hopefully they all are cheap fixes but I honestly have no idea. Any input is greatly appreciated.

1. Check your track bar mount in the front, could be barely loose causing it to pop...
2. Belt pulleys may may some mud around them...
3. Might have mud in your brakes. My brakes lock up sometimes when i've played in the mud. could also be due to excessive wear.
Just my 2 cents! Good Luck!!
