This would be normal operation if you were on a high traction surface, in which case you would notice the powertrain bind unloading in the form of a skidding tire. I think some more information is needed. What about in 4WD going in a stragiht line? Are all your tires fairly identical? Tire pressure even?

Just for common knowledge, it's NOT a good idea to engage the 4wd and turn when on concrete or pavement... It does bind up the powertrain and can lead to damage in various places.
