Check your propeller shaft intermediate bearing, rubber around bearing wears
and can make funny noise when coasting. Just changed mine out/Tom

Subject: [MBZ] Noise from the rear
My 1985 300TD has a noise coming from the rear, which I had my indy 'fix'
last year. It has the following traits: It is clearly in time with
speed, and sounds like hammering. It is most pronounced on hard
acceleration, goes almost away while coasting, and if I decelerate, it
also is loud, but somewhat different. Finally, it seems too slow to be
the wheel, and I am hoping someone will tell me it is obviously the flex
disc, The indy said my right rear brake was sticking, and rebuilt the
caliper. It sounds like it is coming from the passenger's side, but if it
were the flex disk, is it possible that the muffler would shield that
sound from the drivers side? Last year I took a very good hard look and
detected nothing out of order, hence the indy. It started back shortly
after I got it back, then went away for most of the summer/fall. Anyone
have an idea? Or some tests I can do to narrow down the problem? Thanks
in advance for any and all suggestions.
