    So I bought a 2008 9-3 aero, manual with turbo. It was supposed to just be a temporary vehicle, but I kinda fell in love with it. The previous owner didn't really care for it, but I think it could last awhile if I put in some work. Here's a list of problems... I need to replace the front strut...

    I recently purchased a 2007 Aero Wagon 2.8, 116k. It seems I have all of the common problems but I am having trouble with definitive answers for some of them. Left front suspension seems to have the common pop when turning and going over bumps. What is the correct definitive solution and...

    Hi guys, I'm looking for adjustable suspension for my 2001 9-5 Aero. Primarily I'm looking for lots of camber up front but I refuse to use shims. I would like to find adjustable strut mounts combined with coilovers. The reasons is for autocross.

    I am in need of a suspension overhaul on my 2003 9-5 Aero. I am going to upgrade struts and bushings. As this is my first time doing suspension I want to hear some tips and suggestions.

  13. NG900 & OG9-3 Workshop
    Hey guys, I've been plagued by this suspension issue since I bought this Saab in February. I was hoping it was the strut mount, but upon closer inspection today I found it was the actual insert that the strut goes into which connects to the steering knuckle and wheel spindle. I've been...

  15. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    So I was checking my tires on my 2006 Aero today when I realized the rears are starting to "cup." I bought the car used about 6,000 miles ago when it had around 91,000 miles on what I believe to be the original shocks and struts. I was wondering if anyone's used KYB shocks and struts and what...
  16. 9-3 Sedan, Cabrio '04+, Combi, 9-3X Workshop
    Hey all, so I was told that my driver side coil spring is dangerously bad in my '04, and my mechanic recommended I replace them as well as both the struts and the strut mounts in the front. As far as replacing those, I've seen that the Koni FSD/Vogtland spring combo works well, and I've see post...
  17. 9-5 Workshop
    I have a 1999 Saab 9-5 V6. I have a noise in the front suspension. I'm guessing it is a strut thrust bearing as I can hear it with very little suspension travel. I've also developed a little shimmy at high speed. How do you remove and replace the strut thrust bearing? Can this be down without...

    So I just bought a new Strut Mount from SAAB for my Driver's side strut. I have never touched the suspension on this car and don't really want to pay the garage for 2 hours of work. For those that have done this, is this a rather simple job? Thanks
