Great video going to do mine today! Did you facelift your car recently?

Un- Known says:

I missed this vid of ya thank you again really

Captain Sweeney says:

I really appreciate these vids man, appreciation from the USA. I have a question. My Saab has a cracked block, and when I rev it around 2.25 RPM it makes a rubbing sound. I'm certain it's a dry spot in the engine because the oil always comes out darker than it should, but not sure where the spot is.. The crack is right where the engine mount under the airbox is, on the front most bolt. It leaks, but I sealed it recently.

Im hoping it wears out and resolves itself. Maybe you have an idea of what may be rubbing?

Cyd, thank you for posting these detailed videos on Saab repair. They are very helpful to me. Please keep up the good work!

Very useful ! My 2005 Aero goes through about 2 sets a year ! As you say straightforward job – will need to get some heavy duty ones ?

Thomas says:

Nice one Cyd

esiason rodriguez says:

So I think I’m having this on my 2008 saaab 9-3 sportscombi. When I drive around especially when hitting bumps or jostling the car I hear a wobble type of knocking in the front of my car it’s definitely not my engine and I don’t believe it’s my springs, do you think it’s this ? What would be something other symptoms to look out for ?

bob david says:

I know its a weird request, but you should do a small video on the jacking points used for the 9-3 and or where it is safe to jack the car up from and put on axle stands
