i just engaged the 4-wheel hi on a recent ski trip. worked fine- re-engaged into 2-wheel drive. after leaving rest stop- the car started to make a grinding sound near the rear right wheel and the car started bucking and lifting, almost like i had a flat. got home okay in 2-wheel. this morning, took off from a stop-- did the same thing. then stopped, and i proceeded to drive into town. MOST IMPORTANT!!!-- is this car safe to drive? i have it parked for now-- any help would be great-- thanks

Without knowing what is wrong, it is difficult to say if it is safe to drive and under such circumstances, it is recommended to get the problem solved before attempting driving.
