Subtle groaning sound when starting out in 1st gear, and slowing down in 1st 700

Okay, so lets lay out the specs on what I'm driving. She's an '87 745 GLE in excellent shape with a healthy 204k miles, an AW7x tranny - the rest standard Volvo stuff. Well, my problem is that I noticed (I've developed my "preventative maintenence ear" or that's what I like to call it) a slight groaning sound that comes when I'm slowing down to a stop or moving off from a stop that I can almost feel. Well, it's not really that noticable - if I weren't a freak about all this I'd never notice anything. That aside, I was wondering with this sound if there's anything I should watch out for. Feels like it's coming from the front - thought it might have been the brakes or something as I first noticed it when I was braking, and thought the noise was a brake issue when I was slowing down. Anyway, it's sort of a subtle groaning that winds down as I slow down - it goes away by the time I stop. And it's definitely not there when I'm moving down I-95. Anyways, any input about this is helpful. Thanks!
