Default Squeak?

I went mudding today and went into deep water but when I came out my front right wheel was squeaking. We took it off and found nothing wrong and drove to a road but once I hit 20mph it went away and didn't squeak for the remainder of mudding. Was there something suck in the wheel that shot out or has this happened to anyone? Thanks!

Very possible you had a small rock stuck and it was squealing on your rotter. I've had that problem a couple times. Might wanna check again and make sure you didn't damage a pad or the rotter.

That was the noise mine made on my old TJ, right before the entire axle assembly slid out of the housing while making a turn. Seized bearings
