I recently bought a 1993 Toyota 4 runner for a smokin deal. typical v6 5-speed transmission...it had 31" street tires on it and i put on 32" mud terrians. About 2 weeks after putting the mud terrians on it i started hearing a loud (almost grinding) noise from my front end BUT only when im slowing down. about 10 and less. im not sure if its my tranny, rotors, or bearings.. im not too good pin pointing whats wrong but when i know whats wrong i can fix it. Its hard not seeing or hearing it but any comments or opinions?

 

Maybe pull the front tires off

See if the brakes are digging into the Rotor

Maybe the dust shield got bent installing the bigger tires

The wheel bearings are real loose or in need of packing with new grease
