I would strongly advise all 2001 93 aero drivers to check their front suspension coils. For a second time the original coil has fractured about 4 inches from the end. I spoke to one of the UK saab part specialists and they said that they were having alot of complaints about fractured coils from 93 owners. It well worth checking out. Has anyone else had the same issue?

So, what gives ?? ; I remember not one coil ever breaking in any Saab (95,96,99,900) vehicle, 5 to 15 years of age.

I had several break in the front of my 20 plus year old Volkswagen pick up trucks and about in the same place. Never any indication, no horrible noise, even a bit hard to see until the strut was pulled..And with "new", less than ten year old strut assemblies from a convertible, installed - what an improvment in ride and handling..

No problems with my 98 Saab but my 96 A4 has had both front springs break before 100,000 miles. Too much attention to weight reduction!
