I was driving home and after getting off the interstate (about 2 miles from my house) I heard a clunking sound coming from the left front wheel. I opted to finish driving it home since I was so close. I couldn't hear the clunking sound over the sound of the engine, but I could hear it whenever I let off the gas.
I turned left into my neighborhood and it acted normal then I turned left again to go on my street.. as I turned left over a lot of snow the rear end swung out pretty far. Then I turned left into my driveway and the rear end swung out very far again and it had a heck of a time getting up the driveway. It didn't want to move forward at all. (Side note - shortly after I left where I was at earlier it seemed like I had to give it a lot more gas than normal at one set of lights to get it to move forward - that was about 25 minutes prior to getting home).
I put it in park since it didn't want to go forward and let off the brakes and it slid backward! So then I called people in the house to open the garage door so I could keep the brake pedal depressed. Then I tried to get it into the garage. My driveway is inclined btw. I got it moving forward without giving it too much gas, but only the rear wheels were spinning.
I let it come to a stop before getting into the garage to see what would happen. This time the rear wheels were the only thing spinning again and the front started going sideways towards the side of the garage. So we threw some gravel by the rear tires. It got some traction then and went into the garage.
What could be making it RWD? And not stay parked when I put it in park? And what's clunking from the front left wheel?
Is the transmission or transfer case damaged at this point?

There's way too many potholes everywhere and I try my best to avoid them. I was even in the right lane on that bridge cuz I've found the further to the right on the interstate I am over those joints the less harsh they are. Didn't work out last night tho.
