rubbing sound in brakes
 

I've a 96 Del Sol which has a grinding noise ;whenever you apply the
brakes a small amount. They're fine when pressing hard.
I've had it in for service, brake pads replaced. rotors turned.
Then only thing I haven't had checked were the CV joints.
Could this be the cause? Car has 85K miles.
been driven mostly in NC. Not much road salt or mud.
Thanks

Is it the front or rear brakes making the noise?

Noises are always difficult but...

Once upon a time I had a '86 Accord that I took to a non-Honda shop for
brake service. The brake pads were replaced and rotors turned. Afterwards
I had a noise that, based upon your description, was similar to yours.
After some research, I purchased brake pads from Honda and had the shop swap
out their installed pads for the Honda pads. The noise stopped.

Best regards,
