It's a common occurance with '87 and earlier cars. It's probably the front brake calipers. They have a tendency to start to wear where the sliding part of the caliper is. I have yet to see this actually cause a problem. My '86 and '87 both do it, my '86 has been doing it for about 6 years. I have heard that there is someone who repairs them but I can't for the life of me remember who. It might be Sports Car Service down in Wilmington, DE, but I'm not sure. The only other options are to replace the caliper or just live with it.
Hope this helps
