need quick advice...

im probably going to be selling my 4runner in a few weeks in order to get a 4wd one (im looking at sam brocks 99 highlander s/c)...i want to have it in the best condition i can so i can get the most money out of the sale...everything is in really good condition except the fact that when i let off of the accelerator after going about 15mph+ i hear/more feel a small grinding noise. its not a really bad one, but just noticeable. i dont know if its always been doing this, i dont think so, i was just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar. its an automatic. the timing belt was replaced 10k ago, just got new power steering everything, new axle end shafts and whatnot, new starter, its ready to go...if anyone has any input, and/or advice on how to sell a car, im all ears...thanks in advance

It may be your rear end. Where is the noise coming from?

Is this noise a real grind or a grumble? I sometimes experience a low grumble from my 4WD shift selector, but it goes away if I wiggle it a bit. Also, you may be hearing a rettle in the exhaust manifold heat shield.

well im in 2wd, so n/a about the shifter. its a noticeable grinding, i mean its not really loud (music on soft and you cant hear it) you can feel it though if you just rest your foot on the brake or accelerator...but it definately comes from down near my feet.
