slow turns tire vibration

2014 e350 4Matic sedan
My car has started making a wheel vibration when making slow speed turns into parking spots or slow turns. It feels like a 4WD vehicle would feel if you did circles on a hard dry surface in 4WD. it.s not as dramatic but has the same feel as the wheels are fighting each other.
I'm thinking something 4Matic related, clutch discs binding kinda feel.....any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Could be the planetary gear failing. Search on here for that. Do you have a lot of miles on this 2014?

I did a search but what I found for planetary gear was earlier years. I’m not sure if my transfer case is the same or different model.
mileage is 74,000. I’ve had older e class cars with WAY more miles and no issue like this.
