Default strange noises

Was out driving last night, got to my driveway (about 150mtrs of dirt road) and proceeded going at walking pass as usual, got to a bit of a gulley and when I applied the brake I got a bit of a groaning noise coming from the rear. Now at walking pass when I just apply the brakes enough to hold the car stationary I have this groaning and a bit of a knocking noise in the rear but whilst stationary with this noise if I push the brake pedal down a bit more it goes away. So where should I start looking? Brakes (I doubt it), diff or tranny?

Brakes. Mine does the same, but only since I put slotteds in it. Hoping it will go away once I fit the BA rears.

Sort of. I get the knocking on light application of brakes, but still moving slowly. When stationary, I only get the sound if i release a bit of pressure and the car starts moving slowly. I don't get any noise if the car is just stationary though. Also get similar noise on reasonable application of brakes when stopping from around 80 kmh.

Well so I've found today, it only does it when brakes are barely applied enough to keep the car stationary on the dirt, but on the road it does it when its creeping. Its just strange

Mine is. I'm fitting full BA XR brakes this weekend, so will check everything over then.

I also have the dreaded diff clunk, but not much I can do about that until it totally dies.
