Default Front axle help

Hello everyone,

I have a question for you all. I have a 93 xj with a short arm kit. Does anyone have an issue with the coil spring nearly touching the inner c. Picture attached for helping in identification. What’s my options. It seems to be closer on the passenger side.

Sounds like you need an adjustable track bar and an alignment to center the axle under the Jeep.

When you lift the rig and don't change the length of the track bar it will pull the axle towards the driver's side. The track bar is a fixed length and pivots off of fixed positions on the body and the axle. When you increase the vertical distance between the two, the horizontal distance becomes shorter, resulting in what you're seeing.
