Last night, my wife and I went out for a nice romantic drive in the Jeep, it being Family Day here in Canada.
About 30 minutes into our drive and it felt like the road was getting rough. Like I was driving on washboard. This got worse. I hit the gas to see if that had an impact. Nope. Hit the brakes, it went away almost completely, then came back shortly after I let off. A change in road surface did not have a change in the feeling. Slowing down, it turned into more of a thud thud thud.
Pulled into a small town and parked. All the wheels smelled and looked fine except for the left front, which smelled hot, but the brake calliper was not hot.
I called roadside and had the vehicle flatbed'd to the dealership.
Three test drives, totalling several hours today, they've been unable to reproduce the issue, so, I'm off to pick it back up now...
I was originally thinking wheel bearing. However, that wouldn't magically go away. I wonder if I got a rock jammed in the brake pad? Though I would have expected that to make noise?
Any ideas?
