This 05 WK drives okay but when you turn left or right it feels like the front axle is binding. I dont see anything missing, the fluid has already been change to what Mopar recommends. any ideas?

Engine is a Hemi 5.7L

Just as a heads up, 05's are WK's not WJ's. Does it have Quadradrive?

No problem, i was just informing you.

Did you change the diff fluid yourself? If so, did you add Mopar's special friction modifier? Also, does it make any noise or does it just feel like it's binding?

Does it do it every time you turn, or is it only on sharp turns?
