I had the same issue. I am no pro when it comes to isolating problems but does it only do it while turning?
If it does it when your at full turn or close to full turn (Very bad to do this on dry or close to dry pavement) then it is your wheels "hopping". I am pretty sure that when you turn in the wrong enviroment (without heavy snow, mud, etc...) your wheels hop.
When your in 4WD your front wheels spin at the same speed. Therefore when you turn left your left wheel spins at the same speed as your right front wheel. But your right front wheel has a longer distance to travel than your left front wheel. They do rotate at the exact same speed. So while your left front wheel is turning so gracefully your right front is trying to catch up over a longer distance. It gives that jumping, rubbing feel. Check this link out and look at the "crow hop" FAQ.
http://www.jeep.com/en/4x4/faqs/Above only applies if you have a locker(and it is engaged).
In part time 4wd the F/R driveshafts are forced to turn at the same speed,the L/R wheels on either the front of rear axle(without any locker or LSD) can and will spin different speeds when turning.The binding comes from the F/R driveshafts forced to turn at the same speed but the front diff is ever so slightly geared differently so the front wheels spin a bit faster then the rear and that causes binding.
