clicking sound
I recently upgraded the tires on my cherokee classic from 2157515 to 235's and now there is a clicking noise when i turn left or right. I've read on other posts you can run 235's with out rubbing, but it kinda sounds like it a little bit. but when stopped i cranked wheel fully to left/right and cant see rubbing. What else can it be? there is no noise when i am going straight or if i lightly turn the wheel, just if im actually turning a corner. Also it seems the engine is a little doggier with these, So im going to do a tune up, anything else you would suggest with running bigger tires?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Going from a 215 to a 235 shouldn't cause any issues, in itself. After all your only talking 1/2"-3/4" difference, most wouldn't even consider that a real increase in size. Chances are you either have a loose lugnut, bad bearing or ujoint.

tested u joints and the left front wheel bearing is bad really bad... Checked the others and no play so thinking thats it.
