Default Wierd noise / feeling in pedal area

So it's hard to describe, but I have this subtle click below or around the driver's foot pedal area. I can't replicate it, it happens on its own, not using A/C, not while turning, not while accelerating / decelerating / braking...it just happens while driving straight at regular speeds.

I wanted to come to you all before I tried taking it to the stealership for a "phantom" noise / feeling. I guess if I had to describe it really, I would say it is more of a feel than a noise...like a click when a stone is caught in the tire tread and then flies up and hits the wheel wells, but it happens in the area around the pedals. I only sometimes can feel it through the gas pedal but not always.

I never really thought anything of it, but my wife recently took the Jeep out and mentioned it too.

Any ideas?

I have a few views, but no replies yet? Does anyone even know what I'm talking about, does anyone else have this issue too?

Try grabbing the steering shaft at the boot and see if it has some play in it.

Had mine changed and it went away right away. For how long remains to be seen

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll get right on that.
