    This is quite normal at very low speeds and almost full turn. It's the front differential limiting the amount of slip between the two front wheels. You're hearing and feeling the front wheels fighting each other and it's nothing to worry about at all.

    I thought the wheels came off the first time I made that full 180 turn. It does not happen if I drive the car forward a little and turn. Now I try to drive only in in straight line ; D
