Will it wobble and grind when its not in 4wheel? Or just in 4wheel.

I would take off the hub and check to make sure all components are there and not worn or missing first of all.

No the 4 wheel drive is not on and I will go over some rough road or bump, and the wheel will start to wobble and thump, then either coming to a stop or it smooths it self out and we are fine again.

Check for loosenes sin the tie rods, steering knuckles and the ball joints. Hows the wheel bearings look? Endplay wise.
