It does it once, then won't do it again until you stop again. It can be felt on the passenger side, but it seems to originate more on the drivers side. I knew the brake caliper on the driver's front was sticking, so I pulled that apart and installed new hardware and greased the slides but it is still doing it. Any ideas? I can't find any thing that seems loose in the suspension.

Now it isn't doing it. Maybe it was actually the caliper and just had to get settled in with the new hardware. I didn't note it in the original post, but being in or out of 4x4 doesn't seem to make any difference.
