2005 Ford Escape 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

When I turn corners you hear a funny sound from the back end, someone advised it could be my differential which he advised to get fixed soon before it breaks as it affects my 4 wheel drive, is this an expensive job ?

You didnt say what kind of sound, or how many miles are on the SUV. If it's a limited slip differential, you might want to change the oil and add the friction modifier to it, is it a chatter, or wheel hop?
