: I have a 1984 633csi that recently started making some noises upon acceleration. If I take off quickly from a stop I get a loud rapping sound that may be from under the passenger seat toward the back. Are there any struts that connect maybe the rear diff to the chassie? Maybe worn bushings? Also the right front wheel area has developed a loud ticking noise, it only happens when taking off from a stop and goes away with acceleration. Something else I recently noticed, the brake warning light slightly fades in and out at high speed ( above 80 mph ). If any one has any Ideas as to what these might be,please let me know,
: Thanks in advance,

Sounds like your driveshaft center bearing is going out. Possible wheelbearing noise?
