Left Front Hammering Noise on Braking After Sitting For One Week V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be dschwied on  Wed Jul 4 23:16 CST 2012 [RELATED]

My 1998 V70 (FWD, auto, 180,000 miles) sat for a week while I was on vacation. When I drove it again, on braking there was a loud hammering that you could hear and feel through the brake pedal. It was coming from the left front. It diminished over the next hour or so as I drove around town, and then disappeared completely. It has not returned.

I thought that perhaps some brake pad material had stuck to the disc (I live in humid Florida) but that did not seem to be the case. I also wondered if the CV joint could have come ungreased somehow. (AFAIK these are the original CV joints and drive shafts). Anybody have any ideas?
