Rear Axle "Flapping' Sound 200 1990

Hi.

I've got a 1990 240DL Wagon. Really sweet. Before that I had an '85 (chassis rusted...gone, now).

This problem's new for me: when driving, there's this "flapping" sound from the rear of the car. Sounds almost (but not quite) like there's a flat back there. The sound speeds up when I accelerate. I thought it was a wheel...but once we put it on the lift and spun them, BOTH rear wheels were making this flapping sound. Less pronounced than when driving...but definitely there and different than the front. So, I'm thinking it's not the wheels but something to do with the axle...?

Called a Volvo salvage place I like in Tucson. If it's the axle, the shipping's gonna be pretty high (I live in NYC).

Wondering if anyone here has had a similar situation...?

Thanks for your time.
