hi :)
i assume your running bigger wheels/tyres? and/or lowered suspension
if car is standard, you have verilly broken something!! if safe, take it to a garage!!
if modified, then.
find where on the car the tyre is scrubbing, look for marks on the tyre, and corresponding marks on the arches.
if on the outside of the tyre, you may need to roll your arches, or go for smaller wheels / higher suspension.
if on the inside of the tyre (unlikely) look to see if a 'wheel spacer' would stem the wheel out far enough to stop the scrub, but still leave enough clearance on the wheel arch..........
good luck!

I had a similar problem with my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it turned out to be my front sway bar bushings and front sway bar link. The sound was a large clunk sound when I went over bumps. After I got it fixed there were no problems.

How to Jack up the Previa?
The jack is under the passenger seat. Under the car, just behind the front wheel and just in front of the back wheel are locations that are convex shaped with a circular "bump out". You put the "cup" of the jack around that bump out and then use the jack handle to operate the jack and lift the car. Besure to do this only on a level surface and don't crawl under the car without a secondary safety support incase the jack fails.
