So I just went off road today. Needless to say there are a bunch of things wrong now. My long arms popped the whole time (and I just replaced the bushings and tightened them at the crossmember), the tires now scrub when I turn the wheel (I have 33s on a 5.5" lift probably worn down to 32s), and the check engine light is on.

Anybody have any idea why the scrub now, how to get the popping to stop and what I should do to get that pesky yellow light to turn off?

I run a RE 5.5" lift.

 

Year? That matters when it comes to CELs

 

1999 Cherokee Sport.

 

Are they rubbing on both sides or just one, if it's one it could be a track bar issue.

 

What he said^^^ And take it to auto zone and have it scanned. Post your findings on here

 

As of now, it's just the left side that I can tell. Explain trac bar issue for me if you don't mind?

 

Keeps the axle in place when the steering box pulls or pushes against the tie rods. It actually sits parallel to the steering box to passenger's side tie rod. Axle goes up and the axle moves right, axle goes down and axle moves left as a result. Sounds like your's needs adjusting to keep it centered at ride height

 

Could've bent the track bar or the mount. Is it the stock mount? Is it the stock TB? If its adj, might need to re-adj.

 

See if this helps

 

I would hope your lift kit came with an adjustable one. Look at yours and see if it looks like the one in my pic or if it has an adjuster nut made on to it up at the top. Anything could have bent depending on how hard you were on it but I've ramped mine and never bent anything

 

You need to make sure all the bolts are right not just the control arms. Also like what others said sounds like the tb needs to be adjusted

 

Alright so check engine light went off, but my engine now squeals on start up and accelerating whenever I have the AC on. Thoughts on that?

Also the reason (as of now) that it was scrubbing was because one of the quick disconnects disconnected while I was driving home. But, it shouldn't scrub anyways with that disconnected so what's the deal?

 

Also here's a pic so y'all can more efficiently point me in the right direction.

That's very vague.
