Does it always happen when you are rolling? Or can it happen when you are at a complete stop?
Wheel bearing maybe?
Possibly the brake caliper is not fully releasing from the rotor?

If it is only when you start to take off and at gear changes when the gas is floored, it might be engine mounts. The symptom of this is wheel bounce when I'm not pushing it hard enough to smoke the tires.

not gaskets .... mounts. To replace them, you have to unbolt them and the bracket that is bolted to the engine while supporting the engine (I used a floor jack and a 2x4). Be carefull to not break the plastic vacuum tubes ..... connect them to the new mounts and rebolt everything together. The top passanger side didn't require support and was changed in about 20 minutes. I'd recommend having a mechanic do it if you are not confident to do the work.

Get under the car when it's cooled off. Hit the bottom of the cat with the pinky side of your fist and see what kind of sound it makes ..... if you hear metal to metal contact, cut the shield off of the cat and don't park on top of dried leaves.

hahah, awesome pic, hehe!
yeah, you can unbolt it(using a 10mm socket & ratchet) and a 12mm wrench. it may be rusted to badly. that means you have to cut it off or be creative in getting it off. some people just buy a few hose clamps and clamp it down around the cat tightly. check it out first.
