Default Tire/axle issues??

It appears as if my front tires are moving, making their way to the right. My right front tire looks spaced from the body and brought the left tire more inside the tire well. Why is this???

Could be work track bar or control arm bushings. If you have an adjustable track bar, it could be loose or out of adjustment.

Is your jeep lifted and if so was it aligned after being lifted? Also does it have an adjustable track bar? I'm asking because I had an alignment done to my lifted xj with an adjustable track bar and they adjusted my trackbar for me and it was way off center. Most alignment shops can't align a lifted jeep worth a *****. They set it for a stock non lifted vehicle.

The best way to center it is with an adjustable track bar.

When you lift it makes the stock bar too short.

If its something you think happened over time and not right after the lift, I would look at worn bushings like previously mentioned.
