haven't looked in about 10k miles. There are no grinding noises when I brake. It sounds to me like a bearing might be on the way out.

OK, it's worth a check on the wheel bearings. I just wondered about the brakes from experience.... on my 83 grand marquis, disks on the front, they were worn down a few months ago....but they made somewhat of a mysterious humming sound before they went to grinding. (eh, I waited too long...replaced both rotors, all the brake pads.....and one caliper had locked up).

I don't really know how hard the bearing is to replace on that.... I wouldn't think it'd be too hard.... it is real wheel drive right?
