Ford f150 turning sharp in 4 wheel drive?

I have a 2002 ford f150 4x4 and when i pop it into 4 wheel drive and try to turn it grinds. I'm wondering on how to keep it from grinding. Do I need manual locking hubs?

You need to drive it on slippery surfaces where the drive train can slip. The sharper the turns you make in 4x4 the more you need a slippery surface where the drive ratios can equalize themselves.

You need to drive on ice, or snow or mud or sand or anything without much traction. 4X4 is not for pavement. Maybe you were looking for all wheel drive

All 4x4s do that if you try to turn too sharp.

Well if you're doing it on dry pavement stop. You'll ruin the transfer case. That's why its making the noise

You need to learn when it's appropriate to use 4 wheel drive. And how a 4 wheel drive system works. If you're on a surface in 4WD and you get driveline binding when you turn. Then you don't need to be in 4 wheel drive on that surface. A typical 4WD system does not have center differential like you would find on an All wheel drive vehicle. It's a mechanical 50/50 split period. When you turn the front wheels have a different distance to travel, but since you have a 50/50 split there's no "give" the front wheels have to turn the same distance as the rears. When you're in mud, snow, or sand there's much less grip or friction and the ground will provide the slippage needed to make a turn without binding up the driveline. But there's alot of grip on the terrain you're traveling on, like pavement for example. There's not enough slip so the driveline binds up. Sooner or later you're going to break a U join or a CV joint up front if you keep this up.
