Is it normal to hear a noise when turning the wheels sharply to the left or right. Seems like a 4 wheel drive noise. Like a tire rubbing noise. 2004 element

You are most likely due for a diff fluid change. The fluid breaks down over time and the noise you are hearing comes from the rear diff on sharp turns.
