There are various bushes on this site for the rear trailing arms - use the trailing arm part number and it may bring up the related bushes. But as there is no direct part number from Citroen for this bush, you'll have to check with the supplier. They also stock a range of complete trailing arms at various prices and quality:

The lady with the suspension problem (her car and not her personally) has not reappeared. I guess she either sorted it out or plain gave up. Always frustrating when you don’t get a report on an outcome especially when you go to some trouble to assist.

Multi-Link Rear Suspension
Differs from the front suspension set up in that there are multiple links to the wheel instead of two. Each of these links has a specific load role (lateral, camber, twist etc.) and can be adjusted infinitely by the engineers to achieve the best combination of ride comfort and driving dynamics.

Hi Folks
Just jumping in here now. I have a 2009 C5 X7 and am relieved to see other people are having the exact issue as ours. There is a particular speed ramp in my town which is thr width of thr Road and about 4 feet long in total. Everyday I drive over this the car shimmy or jumps or slides to the left. It's really off putting and no one can tell me the issue. I have the base model so no fancy suspension. Just the regular shocks. From what I can see on all these forums no one has diagnosed this yet. One of life's mysterys I suppose. I presume it's safe as it always passed its MOT or NCT as it known as in Eire. This is done annually now because of its age
