Been chasing this elusive noise for about 9 months now - hasn't gotten better or worse. This is on my 2019 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. It's a pop/plink noise (not a metallic noise really) that happens when hitting certain highway expansion joints (like over a bridge) or while making low speed turns (like merging onto a highway slowly). It just does it once and it sounds like a hood being popped open. Can't replicate it at will - it'll go a few days without making it. Can drive it off road and flex it out and it's silent. I suspect it could be the sway bar end link - if I yank on it it pretty hard, I can feel a slight in/out pop at the bottom socket of the link, but very very very subtle. I can rotate the link. I did experiment with a lift on it for about a week (been back to stock for awhile now) and to install the lift, I had to remove the sway bar end links. To do that, I held the nut with a wrench and used a Torx bit on my impact to loosen it - I am wondering if this broke the end link ball joint? Otherwise, everything seems nice and tight as you'd expect with 26k on it.
Thanks!
Thanks!
