Default XK8 rear end noises

Hello there, my name is Tim and I have owned a '98 XK8 convertible since 2003. Hopefully I can contribute information that others find useful on repairs I've had done, upgrades and problems I'm looking at, or sensing!

Does the XK8 have universals on the rear axles or CV joints. Mine are making a whining noise in a straight line and a grinding noise in tight corners.
Cheers

Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.

Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.
