Grinding issue possibly?
Hello all, I have an issue that I’m hoping someone can help me with and I’m going to try and explain it the best I can.
When I’m stopped at a stoplight or idling and my foot is on the brake, I can feel a “grinding”/vibrating feeling in my brake pedal. It feels as if it is a wheel turning and at a certain point grinds against something causing the grinding feeling. It can sometimes be felt in my floor board but mostly in the brake pedal. It doesn’t happen all the time and happens randomly but I noticed it tends to happen more at night (but it does happen during the day) and when I first turn on the car. I live in Southern California so it’s not like it gets very cold. I had a mechanic look at it and of course it didn’t do it when he looked at it. I hear absolutely no knocking noise or any other abnormal noise. Flexplate issue? I have no idea
99 Jeep Cherokee xj 6 cylinder 4.0.
everything is stock except suspension
Sorry I don’t have more info. any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’ve been advised to just drive it till it breaks lol but I heavily depend on my for school.

It doesn’t really do it on acceleration but It won’t hurt to check those bolts. Thank you!!

The only way you're gonna find what you're looking for is to GO LOOK!
Around the Jeep that is. In these parts, we call it "noggin pokin".
That's where you use your God given senses to inspect YOUR Jeep for problems. We can only provide you with guidance as to where to poke your noggin.
There's no Silver Bullet cure you're gonna find from a keyboard, mouse and monitor.
