Cool rear end noises

My 98 XK8 convertible has started giving a slight vibration and howling noise from the rear end. In hard turns it turns into a scraping sound. i know it has split rear axles. Do they have CV joints or U joints?

Thanks bt965, the mileage is 140k, I'm thinking the originals are worn and need replacing.
