Sounds like you need a front axle actuator. This actuator bolts to the side of the front differential housing. It is electrically engaged. You can purchase them online starting at about $40
FRONT END SHIMMY AND SHAKING COULD HAVE A TIRE OUT OF BALANCELOOSE OR WORN WHEEL BEARINGS, WORN OUT BALL JOINTS,WORN OUT TIE ROD ENDS, FRONT END NEED ALIGNMENT.BRAKE ROTOR WORN OUT OR WARPED, MANY THINGS WILL CAUSE FRONT END TO SHAKE SHIMMY.
the bearing hub is a pre-assembled unit it has to be pressed together and the bearings have to be preloaded that is why you can only buy the hub assy. and it a whole lot easier to replace then the old 4X4 ft. wheel bearings.HAVE FUN
the leak is probably a separate issue from the noise. is the leak very bad? can you tell if it's engine oil or transmission lube/fluid? most likely the rear main bearing seal needs replacing. the noise is most likely the clutch release bearing. you should replace all components of the clutch assembly which include; clutch plate, pressure plate, release bearing and piolot bearing. also have the fly wheel resurfaced. while the trans is out, you can check the rear main seal and the trans input shaft seal and replace accordingly.
if the only problem was stuck in 4x4 would not be huge deal. You could just pull the driveshaft off the front. But with it stuck in low range not sure that you can get away with doing that.
