I keep experiencing a bump bump bump bump as I drive. It doesn't happen when the engine idles. When the wheels go faster, the bump bump bump gets faster.
I was recently pushed off to the side of the road and slammed on my brakes as I skidded into a grassy area. I have no antilock brakes. I own a 2008 Toyota Yaris.
I was thinking a bump in the tire, but I've found nothing so far. Perhaps a problem with the brakes?

Hello !!
Check your front tires..
Sometimes the belts inside get broke because a "hole on the road" or a hit on the curbe...

that its hard to "see" but easy to "feel during driving"

Good Luck!
