I have a 2003 Toyota Camry XLE. Recently it has started making a rumbling sound under the drivers side. Not too loud while driving but louder when braking. I had a nail in the front driver's tire, had it fixed and told my husband about the rumbling. He rotated that tire to the back and it's still rumbling, possibly even louder. I took it to have the brakes checked and the repairman said it's not the brakes. Sounds like something that needs lubrication but what? I don't want to wait for it to break to fix it but, I don't want to get hosed either by taking it to a repairman when I don't know what it is. Any ideas?

Have you checked your oil and fluid levels in the engine and transmisson. if it's a manual could the clutch be worn out causing the high rpm and thrust bearing noise in the clutch.
if your car is having no problems and no lights are coming on on the dash this is normal just your thermostat opening up and engine coolant going in and out of heater core
Is it coming from the driver side, passenger side, front or rear of the engine? It could be a cam or crank seal if it is coming from the passenger side behind the plastic timing cover.
If the sound is all the time, no matter what you are doing then it is the Transmission going bad. CV Joints, Wheel bearing will only make the noise when in rotation.. Also remember that this is a front wheel drive car, so it will throw you off thinking it is the wheel bearings or CV joints due to the front wheel drive
