Grinding feel at 20mph?

I've been noticing a slight grinding feel coming through the gas pedal on deceleration around 20 to 15mph. I say a grinding "feel" because I can't actually hear a grinding.
I put it in nuetral and let it coast to 20mph and still feel it (thereby eliminating tranny and brakes). The only thing I could think of is wheel bearings or CV joint. I could replace bearings myself, but are CV joints expensive to have replaced?

Any help on this grinding would be greatly appreciated!

i've been having this same problem all of the sudden. granted i have a 96 5sp max. it sounds like i have metal studded tires on the front, a pulsating grinding noise. as of last night the car is pretty much undriveable because it has gotten so loud. and the tranny seems just fine. i'll let you know if i figure something out. by the way, my front wheel bearings are basically new.
