Dave,
Probably the "front swaybar link" or "swaybar link bushing".
You can see for yourself at: http://www.eeuroparts.com
I selected your make/model from the drop-down menus this is the diagram:

(assuming you have the 2.0 liter turbo)
Be sure to click on "see larger picture" above the diagram.
I always try to get all my Saab parts here. They don't sell everything, but
what they do sell is usually cheaper than the dealer, and they have many
Genuine Saab parts (some appear to be from the manufacturer that Saab uses,
and may not be in a Saab box). Also, free shipping on orders over $39. Not
much in the way of Saab parts for less than that anyways :-(
