Rear suspension is making a nasty knock when going slow over a rough road .
Someone suggested replacing the trailing arm bushings. Where can i get those ? And how to replace them ?

I would be surprised if that was the source of the knock.
I’d suggest to put the car up on stands and closely inspect everything. You can use a jack to “move” the suspension around. Could also be a bad exhaust hanger. I had a loose emergency brake cable mechanism (in the middle of the torsion bar carrier) that was loose. Would knock on bumps. I’ve also had a broken piece of honeycomb from the catalytic converter knocking around inside the exhaust. Finally, check the emergency brake pads and mechanism is secure in the drum. Yup I’ve had that come loose too.

If you feel it is the shoes inside the drum for the parking brake, they are held in place by springs. I had that issue as well.
The part number is 92835295702....here is a result from my google search and this particular one was from www.porscheatlantaperimeterparts.com
