My car is parked right now so I haven't had time to check it out yet but its something in the rear suspension, I suspect the training arm bushings. Really for the age & miles on mine, all the suspension rubber parts need changed.
No trailing arms on a W124. Twitchy steering can be caused by loose toe links (one of the five links in the rear suspension).
