movement as in up n down? like the direction it would normally travel? or do you mean if you grab the top n bottom of your wheel it rocks back n forth

i had the same problem mate, was picked up when i was getting it lowered. The mechanic sai i would need a new rear arm bearing. So i bought this from citroen as it is only available direct from them, and the mechanic at a different garage who fitted it said that it wil be ok for now but if it goes again then yes i would need a whole new rear axle :(

Decent whole rear axle set ups are easy to get hold of for £100 a time, so don't worry too much matey :y:

But is the wobbling up and down or left and right as stated?

yeh as said you can get a new arm with bearing from gfs.com cheap or a good second hand beam from ebay (one not lowered = good).
would fail mot if there is noticeable play in suspension.
drive at own risk, play will mean stress in weak places = snap....

it moves from left to right.......and a couple of people hav told me it quite bad when drivin behind me.
