That is called 'scrubbing' and will always happen because the pivot point is right between the two axles. It is also occuring on the rear axle but in the opposite direction. It's much more noticable when you make a sharp turn. You'll see it more when you back, you're looking that way. Watch an 18 wheeler sometime when it makes a sharp turn, same thing. I don't like to make real sharp turns if I don't have to, I'll try to make a it in several steps if I can. It puts a lot of side pressure on the tires, axle assemblies and the spring hangers. We had a spring hanger break 3-4 times on our old 5er.
