drivetrain binding
When you turn a car, every wheel needs to spin at a slightly different speed because they are all traveling along different paths. In some heavy-duty 4WD systems, the front and back wheels are locked together. If you try to turn on dry pavement, the tires can't slip easily, so the metal parts underneath fight each other and get tightly bound up, which can damage the vehicle.
