Most four-wheel-drive vehicles are controlled by the transfer case. The transfer case has many years in it. A bad year in the transfer case will cause the vehicle not to engage.

If it's not the manual type, then the electric motor on the transfer case is either bad or not getting power. If you really need to drive this vehicle until you can get it fixed right, you can take the electric motor off the transfer case and use a wrench to manually disengage the four wheel drive.
Absolutely. Especially if the driveshaft is unbalanced.. this can cause damage to the transfer case, transmission, and engine.
The 1990 Jeep Wrangler can make a knocking sound when there is a bad bearing in the transfer case. The vehicle should be repaired as soon as possible.
