My car made a grinding and clunking sound after being taken out of 4 wheel drive and now feels like it wont accelerate or brake.

SEE IF THIS APPLY
SQUEALING/WHISTLING FROM FRONT AXLE AREA AT 10-40 MPH - 4X4 VEHICLES ONLY
TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN
ISSUE
Some 4x4 vehicles may exhibit a high-pitched "squeal" or "whistle" type noise from the front of the vehicle at speeds from 16 to 64 km/h (10 to 40 3 mph). This noise may be caused by the front halfshaft excluder (dust) seals (-3K070-) as they rotate against the inner front hubs. The noise may be more pronounced in cold weather conditions.
ACTION
Install new front halfshaft excluder seals on each side of the vehicle. Refer to the following Service Procedure for details.
