Recently my 86 560SEL started making a rather weird noise.It's coming from the back of the car.It sounds almost exactly like a slipping fan belt,except as I said the noise comes from the back.The car still runs absolutely fine,but as you can guess it is a little worrying.The noise gets worse when I press the accelerator.Anyone have any idea what it is?I was guessing maybe fuel pump problems,or as I have recently converted it to conventional shocks (it had self levelling suspension) maybe some problem with that.However,I had that job done two months ago and haven't had a problem until now.Anyone have any ideas?I would be most grateful for any advice received.Thanks in advance.
Strange noise-help!

This cant be anything serious just something touching where it should not be.
You have the prop shaft or brakes including the parking brake.
Maybe someone else will have more idea in the morning
