Default Rear end noise on my 1985 300CD
I have a 1985 Mercedes 300CD and after driving 75MPH on highway for approx 50 minutes it starts making a clanking sound from the rear. It seems to fade or go away as you release the accelerator and become more pronounced when you apply it. After stopping for 20 or 30 minutes it goes away but comes back again after driving for a while (15 or 20 minutes). It will not do it while driving in town it seems to happen only after prolonged highway speeds.

Get the propellor shaft / rear drive shaft joints and doughnuts inspected.
Diff oil level correct?
Parking brake working correctly?

Yes they have checked all and seem ok
They think it may be the rear right axle
