Does anyone have one of the Saab 89 95 409 special press tool used for
balljoint work on classic 900's? I already have one similar tool that I

with the lower balljoints because there isn't enough clearance ...

I'm having a hard time finding a set of springs that don't lower the
body an inch or more.  I drive on dirt a bit and would like to find a
set that's stiffer than stock but doesn't contribute to increased

I just had my turbo replaced and I've been told that my cylinder head
gasket probably suffered under that problem too, and probably is next

I am buying a 97 9000 with the 16" (x 6 1/2?) wheels. I have a 94 9000
that no longer works so I'm thinking of putting the 94's 15" (x 6"?)
wheels on the 97 in winter with snow tires. I have a few questions

I'm puzzled by the following: In the dutch SAABforum there is somebody
offering 9000 CS model front indicators (the orange ones, so before

lights up with the backup lights, so when the car is put in reverse.

I recently removed the C-pillar trims to re-cover them.  A fine job I
did too, even if I do say so myself!  (Photos of the whole job will
follow...)  However when replacing the seatbelt guide the threads
stripped and I cant torque the bolt up to the required 33ftlb, no-where

There is a black 'quick-connect' type wire that became disconnected
when I was changing the thermostat and now the temp gauge does not
work. I have yet to locate any connection point to where this wire
