Greetings from Chicago, USA and thanks for posting this awesome video for us Saab enthusiasts! Would it more or less be the same procedure for the Saab OG models? I have the 2002 Saab 9-3 SE model. You make it look way to easy : )
I just spent 2500 for two new front springs (had hairline cracks in my front left), upper strut mounts, new sway bar end links,and front brakes, also a new set of Yokohamas, then i repainted my cowl, now I just have to get a wheel alignment.
After all this, I still love watching these videos Cyd!
Now please do one for the air con recirculation motor because mine is Clicking and I have the part lol
Thank you for this Cyd !!you are amazing
Great vid as always Cyd. Keep up.the great work. I'm sure people will attempt this type of work with your easy to follow instruction.. superb.
On a job like this do you change one side or both?
Thanks for making and posting this very informative video. Your clear and easy to understand instructions will enable Saab 9-3 owners (and no doubt a lot of other car types owners) to DIY this job.
Was going to do this job in the next few weeks, this will help, thanks mate
Had to remove one of the springs when I changed the lower inner control arm to get access however I learned the hard way that you have to compress it before removing it otherwise it will come flying.
