I recently got stuck in the mud and used 4 wheel drive to get out. After disengaging 4 wheel drive i have had a popping noise in front end when turning really tight at slow speeds. Now 4wheel drive does not work and I here an odd noise when trying to turn it on.

check to see if the noise is coming from the 4wd shift actuator on the transfer case. If it isn't and is coming from the front axle, check vacuum supplies. If they are good, you may need to take apart the hubs and clean and lube them.
