Any bushes in particular I should be looking at? The multi-link suspension seems to have loads!

I'm not getting any saw-toothing on the rear tyres, so was assuming the alignment to be ok. From what I've read, it's either alignment issues or dead shocks. Might just fit a new pair of shocks as it's not a hard job. I had one of the shocks off the other week to replace the completely disintegrated bump stop. Not having a new shock to compare the old one with though, it was difficult to determine whether the old shock was goosed. Once compressed, how quickly should the damper rod come out again (this is off the car, obviously). The damper rod only came out very slowly - is this normal??

When going round corners with potholes, drain covers etc in the road, as the rear wheels go over these holes, the back end feels like it wants to "step out" for a moment. Feels a bit loose. I'm suspecting bushes, though there's nothing obvious from a quick visual inspection. Trouble is, there's so many bushes back there. Any idea what part of the suspension might be worn? Possibly dampers I suppose too. Tyre pressure doesn't seem to make a difference btw.
