4x4 hop
#4
Some light bouncing and jerking with the wheel almost fully turned is normal, and I do mean light.... my 94 4x4 F150, when I first got it, had a seized front axle U-Joint, and as soon as I start turning, would make these big clunking noises and bouncing and jerking....
Might wanna check your U-joints! Also, try avoiding turning the wheels fully on either side when in 4x4, weather on pavement or mud/snow.

The harder over you turn the wheel the more hop you are going to get when you have traction in 4x4 mode. The wheels are turning at the same speed, but the distance traveled by the inside wheel is less than the outside wheel in a turn, so one of the wheels is breaking traction to keep up with the other. Don't use 4x4 mode if you have good traction. Just shift out back to 2wd.
