Tried a search, no luck
I noticed last night that when I am moving very slow, less than 10MPH, I can hear an odd sound coming from the front of the car, mostly the drivers side. The sound is a clanking, rattling, grinding kind of sound. It stops when brakes applied. Heading to a shop in a couple minutes. Any info here would be appreciated. thanks.

The sound was gone this morning when I drove the car. Last night it seemed to go with the rotation of the wheel like a rock in the tread would. Nothing seems to be wrong with handling, braking or anything. Just had that noise.

My '96 would make a noise at times that I could only hear when very slowly moving. I found that it was the front wheel bearing by having someone else drive the car while I was walking next to it. This way I was able to determine which wheel it was.
After lifting the front wheels, I found that the right front wheel bearing had movement sideways that the left front did not. Taking it out and comparing to a new one really showed the problem.
Front wheel bearings are very easy to replace. The rears...not so easy due to the half shafts.
Something you might want to check out.
Good luck with it.
