I have a 91 cherokee and have lifted it and put 35s on it. Now its real easy to notice the tires arent straight but at a angle and there also going in different angles. Its no really affecting the ride but its noticable. i think the ball joints might be wore out?

first jack up the tires and check for play.

if no play go get a professional alignment

if there is play change out the worn parts and go get an alignment
