A piece of metal fell out of steering column. Also, front end needed alignment due to drifting/pulling right/ 4-wd light keeps coming on. When shifting into gear, rear end would pop, and ABS brakes went out when applied. When vehicle is turned off it would still be running. Would restart it and it turned off.
