Default IRS Grinding ?

I have searched the site looking for something similar to the problem I am having with my Unique FIA with a Jag IRS.

When the car rolls, you can hear and feel a large clunk coming from the rear end. CV's seemed okay when we checked them, but I may need to remove axles to get a really good look.

Also, when slowing down under braking, there is a loud grinding sound coming from under the car. again near the rear end. It is not consistent, but does seem to be doing it more and more lately. Can't find anything rubbing.

These two issues possibly related ?

The previous owner did mention that he had put in hard brake pads, and the car doesn't stop well until they are heated up, with a lot of pressure on the pedal.

Thanks for any ideas.
