 Is there such a thing as a rear, trailing arm, rear bush. Mine is worn, on the offside, according to my local garage, service report?! If so, can anyone direct me to a diagram, as I just can't see one in the Technical Docs? Or, do Citroen use a different term, on the C6? Thanks.

But you might as well do 10 and 11 while you have the arm off.

 Hi, Thank you for both of your speedy replies, with useful links.
I have a couple of questions:
1) Should I have both bushes in both N/S/R longitudinal arms replaced, at the same time? Is this overkill, or, a prudent procedure?
2) My local garage doesn't seem keen to do this work, or, replace the "low" rear brake pads. They said, as I need to have the Timing Belt changed, as part of the 40,000/10years, routine service, suggested I have all this work carried out by my local Citroen Dealer, in Portsmouth, Richmond Motors, as they have all the necessary tools, etc. Do you agree that this is the best, although bound to be, more expensive way to go? I am unable to do the work myself, anyway. Thanks for your help. Bob

 Your local Citroen dealer will have as much experience of working on a C6 as they do a space shuttle.

If you can, take it to BL Autos in Welwyn Garden City who are the experts in these cars.
