The weirdest thing about this, which I failed to mention in my original post,
is that it makes no noise, other than the thump thump of the car bouncing. I
thought about jacking the car up, taking the wheel off, and driving it
suspended. I'm kind of afraid to do that though, because it doesn't happen
until I am at 40-50 MPH. I don't want to go that fast in mid air. Do you
think it's worth a shot though?
