I've known several gals that had kitty's that purred when I moved them around but that is a subject for an entirely different kind of forum.

That said, I do have a couple thoughts on your current purring problem. Is there any pulsing at all when you apply the brakes? It is possible that the right front rotor is warped just enough to cause the caliper or pads to rattle back and forth just enough to cause a purring sound but would stop when the brakes are applied. Also, does the sound stop only when braking and not accelerating? It seems to me that if it were a CV issue the sound might stop when under any load, either braking or accelerating, and occur when running "neutral" (so to speak). The fact that it only stops when braking leads me to believe the problem lies more in the rotors/calipers than anywhere else. At least that is where I would focus my attention initially.

Good luck with it. That stuff can get really annoying if not fixed.
