Default Please Help Diagnose Problem

I was driving home from a meet last night and got on it for a little bit, but nothing more than usual. I didn't really notice anything different until I started to slow down at a red light by my apt. I felt a "knocking", but it didn't feel like it was a motor knock. I say "felt" because you can't so much hear it as much as I feel it in the gas and brake, and the steering wheel. I've given the car a quick scan, but can't really see anything. Do you guys have any suggestions for me on where to begin looking? Any help is appreciated.

I would need more information. Does it do it when car is stopped at idle? Does it do it only when you slow down?

From the sounds of it, you said you felt it only when you slowed down and didn't hear anything. You felt it through peddles and steering wheel. To me that sounds like warped rotors.

A cracked flexplate maybe? does it do it all the time, under a load or just at idle?

It was the freakin wheel. Apparently I broke a stud and others were loose. Not sure what happened, but thanks to those trying to help.
