is this normal?

I bought my wife a brand new 2011 expediton back in2010, so i dont drive it much. It snowed the other day and i was using the 4wd. It works fine, but when i take sharp turns, the front end pops. is this normal? I have just never felt this before.

Sharp turns will cause a vehicle kinda jerk and hop when in 4wd. Mine also does this. In the front both wheels are locked in pretty much the same way a true rear locking differential would be. True lockers don't corner well as the wheels try to fight each other making sharp turns.
