Default 4x4 steering problems

Hey guys,
I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee, 4.0L, 4x4 part time.
It has 133,000 miles.

When i turn to steer sharp, in four wheel drive, it feels like the wheels are wobbly and sometimes the car wont move unless i straighten them again.

What could be the causes and fixes (cost)?
Thanks!

Normal.
You shouldn't put it in 4Hi or 4Lo on dry pavement.

Check your owners manual if you have one, it's in there.

If in fact you were on a solid surface "Serious" is 100% correct for almost any 4x4.
