A clunking noise from the front suspension over bumps is a common Jeep Renegade complaint. Here’s what typically causes it, which parts to inspect first, and whether you can keep driving safely.
What's that clunk when you hit a bump?
If your Jeep Renegade makes a clunk or knock from the front suspension when driving over potholes, speed bumps, or rough pavement, you're not alone. This is a familiar issue, and as a mechanic I'd rather you address it early than let it turn into something worse. The sound is usually a metallic or hollow thunk, sometimes accompanied by a slight vibration through the steering wheel or floorboard.
