Default stock cherokee lower control arm rubs
I have a stock 97 cherokee with 30 by 9.50 tires and they rub on the lower control arm only turning left . Any suggestions?

Buy a proper set wheels with the correct BS 3 3/4-4"'s.

How's the track bar? Loose?

Control arm bushings worn?

Sounds like the axle is off center. How much lift and what track bar do you have?

No lift. Stock track bar. Nothing really seems to worn out

It's an 18 year old Jeep, everything is worn out.

Make sure your steering stop bolts aren't missing. I had one gone on mine.
