Hello, my name is James. You are correct when you say you need this problem looked at as soon as possible. Loud grinding and knocking sounds are usually caused by worn, loose or broken gears, bearings or chains in the transfer case, transmission (if it is a manual trans.), or one of the differentials (sound can telescope up or down the drivelines and seem like it is coming from somewhere else). No matter what, the vehicle does need to be lifted up on a rack and thoroughly inspected by someone who knows what they are doing.
