Welcome to the forum!
Use of 4WD on tarmac is not recommended - unless you have ice or snow which would allow for some slipping of the tyres to prevent what is known as drivetrain "wind up".
When a four wheeled vehicle negotiates a turn, each of the four wheels travels a different distance - there are front & rear differentials to cope with the different distances that the left & right wheels travel, but, on these vehicles there is no center diff to allow for the difference between the front & rear wheels and this causes tremendous stress on the drivetrain - typically there will be a banging noise from the front differential as the free wheel clutch assembly "skips a tooth".
In some cases, when the drivetrain winds up - it is not the free wheel clutch that slips, but the selector hubs that drive the front wheels in the transfer case, and this will usually result in the transfer case jumping from 4HI back to 2HI
Reversing will 'unwind' it.
