This morning's commute was kinda weird. The van I was riding sounded different. A different noise is heard from the floor of the van sounding mechanical and appears after the van has revved up a bit, about 5 to 10 KPH. The driver inspected the bottom of the vehicle several times but couldn't see anything outwardly wrong with the vehicle. At some point when the van was running relatively fast, around 40 KPH, the engine's torque would translate to a wiggling of the van's body. We reached Makati safely enough, without any mechanical breakdowns. And once on Paseo de Roxas, the sound totally disappeared.
Personally, I think it may have been the parking brake (hand brake). It may have been disengaged, but still connected in some way.
Nice start to a week.
