Why are my tires “scrubbing” in low speed turns?

[TDoggs]

I know they do that when it’s in 4WD.

Could it be “stuck” in 4WD?

What are the Cherokee details: lift, tire brand/type, rim offset ?? Is the alignment correct. Are the u-joints fresh ? Since both of my Cherokees do it on occasion it is not something I worry about.

Everything is stock. Michelin Tires.

The u joints are not "fresh" but, I couldn't tell you how old they are.

I have a rumble/vibration at 75mph that lessens when I engage the 4WD as well.

4wd at 75 mph?

NP242?

4wd at 75 mph?

It was probably an icy day.

It was probably an icy day.

75 on ice?

Anyhoo, my sons XJ was scrubbing due to bad ball joints. If you take it to an alignment shop they'll be able to tell you...it's not a bad job with the right tools.

New tires? Limited-slip rear diff doing what it's supposed to do?

If it worsens and feels like the whole car is shuddering at high speeds you may have a bad joint on the transfer case shaft. It needs replacing asap if that's the case
