I did look that up, it was for cars after mine, but that could be what 
it is.  If it gets worse I'll have to look into it more.  I need to

Yes there was MB recall on the transfer case. Check vin with stealer or
online. My 211-E320 4matic wasn't covered  for some odd reason but started
to do that. (Like the early 4WD Subarus) one dealer said replace case for 3
K. The good dealer in CT put in new bearing  & fluid for 300.00.  Important

A full-time (AWD) vehicle should not have any binding on turns.

On-demand 4WD often does, and that's why it should only be used on loose
or slippery surfaces such as snow, mud, sand, gravel, etc.

4WD trucks in my life seem to do that, but I've always wondered if that wasn't 
just
the difference between U-joints up front (trucks) vs CV joints (AWD cars).
