    Hi guys!

    I have a ATP 2.0 lift kit installed on my Renegade for a few months now and it's making a creaking noise on the driver side when it go over bumps. It gets pretty loud and it does make a little noise when turning the steering wheel but it's not to bad. Anyone also run into this issue? Any ideas?

    Did you install it or did you have a shop install it? My guess is the bolts need to be torqued down again.

    I had a local shop install the kit. I'll try doing that and see if anything changes.

    I recently had a local shop install the AVID 2” lift on my renegade. I ended up with a lot noise coming from the front end. Turns out almost everything was loose. Once I got it tightened up the clunking noise when away. As another owner told me, even if it’s just a hair loose it’ll make noise.

    I had the same issue with creaking for about 2 weeks but after a while it just went away.

    Yes, I have the ATP 2" lift and it had all kinds of creaks and clunks. Ended up being bad swaybar ends they sent. One actually broke in two at the weld (under normal driving). I removed the swaybar ends and it rides very smooth now, but has a bit more sway (not recommended for high speed maneuvers.)

    Had the same problem, turns out the shop forgot to tighten up the sway bar links. All good for now. ATP 2" kit.
