    strange noise when braking

    I'm baffled here by this problem. I'm trying to disgnose the problem from my friend's 98 camry. When braking in the highway (from speeds of 70+) you can hear a "rumbling" noise coming from the front of the car. Can anyone guess as to what's possibly causing the problem?
