@Billy Bignutz Negative, never seen off-road and no recent washes. I normally use a touchless wash weekly and have never had that issue after.
Weird vibration

I had a similar issue, but I off road all the time. When it got up to 75-80 mph it shook pretty bad to the point where my 2nd row seats were visually vibrating. Ended up being a dent on the barrel of the wheel.

Update**
After testing various things, the culprit seems to be parking brake related. I rarely used the e-brake until recently when we purchased a new home with a slope driveway. Each time we parked we engaged the e-brake. That when I started noticing the issue. Sometimes it would be miles down the road before the shudder started, others right after. Since I’ve made room in the new garage to be able to pull in on a flat surface, the issue hasn’t happened again.
Not sure if the e-brake just doesn’t like being reversed right after it’s disengaged; maybe it needs to go into drive before reverse? Not really sure, but thought I’d share my findings.

If it is like mine you will find heat marks on the handbrake drum. Mine only ever occurred twice after LR adjusted them but when they were subsequently replaced by another dealer I kept them as evidence and the affected side had the burnish marks from overheating.

Sounds like Handbrake.. This has happened to me after the vehicle sat for a while in a wet environment (like 4 days of solid rain) with the parking brake engaged. Mine happened at 4:30 am on I-64 in the middle of nowhere. It freaked me out. I got out and could smell it though. After a couple of really hard brakes it went away, and I made it 600 miles down the road to Mobile AL (Home). It actually warped my rear passenger rotor.

Mine was the e-brake for sure. First time I did brakes I didn’t do the calibration procedure, it just took some time to develop. Once I narrowed down the problem I did the proper procedure and all is good
