The rear trailing arm has a urethane (?) bushing inside it that obsorbs the bumps etc. Over time they wear down and need to be replaced.

In terms of the 'machine required', I assume that they mean the discs. The pad (which wears over time) presses against the disc when you brake. As the pad starts to wear it essentially creates groves in the disc and as such these need to be machined off (all they do is grind the disc back to a flat surface again).

You mean change the shock/springs? If so, then no it wont fix the problem.
