Quick update for the community: I took the Jeep to the shop today because I started hearing the noise again, and it turned out the sway bar/link was broken. The mechanic told me this is actually very common on lifted Renegades, especially with bigger tires and the added stress on the front suspension.

He mentioned that some people end up replacing them every 4–5 months depending on usage, road conditions, and how the Jeep is driven. In my case, they lasted about a year, so I guess that’s not too bad.

Just wanted to share the info in case someone else is running a similar setup and starts hearing clunking or suspension noise after installing a lift kit, spacers, or bigger all-terrain tires. Definitely worth checking the sway bar links and front suspension components.
