My wife's KJ has on again off again rubbing sound, which sounds like its coming from the rear passenger side wheel. At first I thought it was maybe a sticking pad but braking doesn't affect it. I don't think its a u-joint, as the vibration usually increases or decreases on acceleration or deceleration, and I've had enough u-joints go on my truck to know what one feels like.
This noise will manifest itself then suddenly disappear completely, sometimes at slow speeds, sometimes at highway speeds. I pulled the wheel off today to see how the pads are, they still have lots of meat left and all looks ok. Then I took it uptown and the noise started again, this time a clunking sound was also there, when I hit highway speed it was on again off again, and when I got home I had my daughter drive it for a couple of Km's while I leaned out the windows listening but there was nada, nothing at all.
Any ideas?
