My 2000 Honda Civic is making a kind of groining noise when braking. The pads are fine and the rotors have been turned. I have isolated this noise to the right side of the car. It appears that I might be coming from the CV joint has anyone very experienced this before the boot is not busted and no sign of any grease has come out of the boot. What are your thoughts? Thanks

Why would the joint make any noise when braking? More likely the wheel bearing since you're putting a ton of torque on it (but little on the joint).
Veering left and right at speed will sometimes show up a bad wheel bearing. If you turn left and it makes noise, it's the right one.
If you have ABS, are you sure it's not trying to engage? Rotated your tires faithfully? There are some TSB's about that phenomenon. It may not be for Civic, but it's in there.
