See my profile, It would pay to turn your wheels "LEFT" and stick your head under with a flashlight.

On the drivers side, investigate your tire for a "SCUFF LINE" around the inside perimeter of the tire. See if maybe something on the chassis, at the rear of the tire, is close to it and rubbing.

Your "LIMIT SCREWS" or whatever stops your wheel from traveling too far inward, may need adjustment (other side of your Jeep also may need adjustment)

Do the same investigation on the passenger side---this time pay attention to the front of your tire rubbing up front on the chassis

Other than that look for Bent / Broke/ worn components on your suspension and steering----Foreign objects (like somebody's cat--Trash ETC) Jammed into your system.

If you cannot resolve this Easily--I recommend taking it to an alignment shop ASAP. They will at minimum, tell you what might be wrong and the SEVERITY of the situation.

DO NOT PLAY AROUND WITH A POSSIBLE BAD STEERING SITUATION. UNLESS YOUR RELATIVES WILL GET A NICE INSURANCE SETTLEMENT. AND YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH!

Please respond with your outcome.
