2000 Ford Taurus Vibration/Strange clacking sounds

2000 Ford Taurus, 92K miles. Driving at speeds 40-55 MPH @ 2000 RPM, I am experiencing a slight pulsating vibration when easing off gas pedal and hearing a scraping/clacking sound that seems to be coming from under the front of the car. Above 2000 RPM, the noise/vibration disappear. I cannot exactly pinpoint what this is, but something does not feel right. When parked it is ok. And driving at speeds of under 25 MPH it is ok also. Any idea what to look for. Thanks. :?: :?: :?:

Check you CV joints on your front drive axles.

Turn the steering wheel all the way in one directon and drive and listen. You should be able to hear the clicking.

Good luck and let us know. :)
