So it has a bit of a hop on turns in 4WD? Does okay going straight? You are probably binding the axle u-joints in the turns while they are under load. While it is not unusual, it can denote problems. Take a look at the u-joints that are behind the stub shafts. Are they pretty much centered in the yokes?

It will do this on pavement or hard surface. Put it in wet grass or mud or loose dirt and see how it feels. It needs to be able to slip when in 4WD or it could break. Don't do it on pavement especially!!!!
