Your tires are wider than stock or you have an aftermarket wheel with a neg offset. Just make sure your brake lines aren't rubbing on your tire and safely secure them with heavy duty zip ties if they are rubbing.

Wide tires, higher offset wheels or possibly your pitman arm is aligned a little more towards that side.

Its not catching the plastic on your front bumper or in your fender well?

Rubs just on one side? sounds like the axle itself is a little offset
