Default Upper control arm hitting oil pan.

First off, the Cherokee is still stock for now, but the passenger side upper control arm is hitting a bolt on the oil pan. Already busted a trans cooler line so that has been fixed and relocated. Track bar is still good and stock. Why would the control are be hitting the oil pan if it's stock??

Bump stops need to be adjusted correctly and most are not. I jack the axle up until about 1.5 to 2.5 inches of clearance then measure and set my bump stops.

How did you fix the broken line? My stock 96 has done the same but it got both lines.
