I have a 2000 Cherokee Sport 4.0L V6. Recently, I have noticed a rubbing sound in the front when turning at low speeds. It seems like some days it sounds like it is more on the left side, and other days more on the right. It is most noticeable at low speeds (turning into a parking space, or out of the driveway) and seems to be tied to the rotation (sound is more frequent as I accelerate).

I uploaded a video that got the rubbing noise while turning. It's embedded below: .

Any suggestions as to where to start? Thanks.

 

Tires too BIG!!!

 

I haven't changed my tires recently, and this sound just started a couple of weeks ago.

 

Are you sure that it's a tire is rubbing. To me it doesn't sound like a tire rub, It sound more like a bad bearing or the axle joint.
BTW, You Do Not have a 4.0 V6. The 4.0 is a straight 6...

 

That doesn't sound like a tire rubbing.

 

I didn't mean to imply that I thought it was the tire, just that the time interval between squeals shortens as I accelerate.

 

You don't need to get so touchy. We were answering you question and you did say you had a tire rub.
BTW, Time to climb under the Jeep and check out the bearings and the axle joints.
