1997 Jeep Cherokee creaking crunching sound when braking

My jeep makes a creaking/crunching sound when braking at low speeds. Sort of a koo, koo, koo sound. No, not like a dove. Also makes the same sound when turning. The sound goes away when it's raining, then I just get a little squeal instead when braking. The sound comes back when it's dry again.I use mothers wheel cleaner. I was wondering if this could mess with the brakes. Just a thought. The sound seems like it's coming from the middle/front of car but it could be getting thrown from the brakes. I can't really tell. The front brakes and rotors are 9 months old and the back drums are 14 months old. Any help would be appreciated.
