well i discovered something else today......first time this ever happened......bear with me as i try to explain it...
....first off.....it started with the sounds as if i had a flat or low tire.....it is speed related....ie....sound is slower when goin slow...as if if it was a flat tire.....tire is fine with air pressure......

it doenst happen when i accelerate or brake......but i coast as i am driving or slowing down i can hear.....under 20 mph.....not there....when i get to an rolling stop.....something sounds like it is clanging.....as if something is loose....i thought the suspension settling, but no.......never done it while moving and it doenst quite sound right.......my guesses are:

out of balance tires, radial slip, or sway bar loose or broken off or whatever.....could it be something else? bad spring? bad strut? damper? thank you very much for any advice you may have.....

Best bet is to jack up car, remove wheel and have a look including brakes. If all appears ok reinstall wheel (with proper torque) and see if noise can be better located or defined.
Switching tires can eliminate that potential source.
