    It sounds to me like you may have sustained some front end damage due to a recent accident or perhaps you ran over a curb or hit something in the road.

    In other words, it seems like you have some front end damage.

    I say damage rather than wear, since the car is probably not old enough to have worn front end components.

    If the car has a couple hundred thousand miles, it could be wear, but generally not so.

    Go to an independent front end shop (personal referral is best) and have them inspect your steering gear and suspension components.

    That's the most likely cause of the symptoms that your'e experiencing.

    Take the Jeep out of 4WD once you're on pavement or some thing will harm. and don't positioned it lower back in till you're utilising on snow or airborne dirt and dust. On sharp turns you're forcing the outdoors tire to slip around a bigger diameter circle than the interior tire. In 2 wheel rigidity they are able to turn at distinctive speeds so there is not any subject. In 4WD the wheels lock up, which provides staggering traction yet on dry pavement you have already got traction,

    sounds like a wheel alignment is needed but it could be a few different pieces on the front end with alignmant being the cheapest and quickest fix here but a Mechanic would have to check to be sure. and give you an estimate. This will eventually wear your front tires down too, so dont wait to get an estimate. Good luck

    possibly a CV joint, but I'd also check into the power steering system and the suspension (tie rods, upper/lower ball joints, etc)
