Hi everyone, I've just bought a Turbo X manual wagon which I am veeeeryyy pleased with but I have one little annoying thing going on and that is a squeak/creak from the front seems like LHS when driving. I'ts an eee-e-e-e-eee-e-e-eeee-ee type noise (said fast!) it happens when driving ordinary...

Hi All Why not keep exising shock absorbers (good ride) but upgrade the anti-roll bars to stop the body role?? Any thoughts?? Stiffer suspension does not always mean better road holding, apparently. i have a school chum who works for a company who specialise in road holding kits for old cars...

The £300 suspension ebay upgrade Hi. 1. I've seen this upgrade. how much harder is the ride? i do lots of miles so would find it tiring to have a noticable firmer ride. your thoughts? 2. if you fit this upgrade, do you have to have a wheel allignment done, as i've not long had it done...£60...

Just a quickie! i have a 95 2.3t not aero. if i want to put some firmer springs/shocks on do i just get the aero ones? where is the best place to go, and how much is it likely to cost? Another quickie: anyone had bad experiences with an ecu performance upgrade or are they fairly safe? look...

My car is out of warranty in a couple of days, so I'd like to have a last stab at finding the source of the clonks from my suspension. When the load comes off the front suspension, such as dropping off a speed bump, there is often a clonk from the front. My dealer has investigated several...

Evening all, After a week with the Aero, I can't help feeling the handling is a little too soft and 'floaty' for my liking. Now I don't want to ruin the ride (my Evo8 felt like it had basically no suspension whatsoever) but I want to improve the handling and stability somewhat. Im looking...

I've got the well known knock from the front N/S suspension - it happened immediately after encountering a large pot hole. Drop link seems OK and the strut gaiter is still intact - suspect the top mount, although it appears still to be in one piece. 1) If the bump stop is split, does the gaiter...

Has anyone upgraded the BHP of there NG900 and not altered the stock suspension ? Reason I ask, I have just brought a standard NG900SET and It could do with a bit more power, like a STG1, but the ride is so comfy and smooth, I don't want to ruin it, but would like the extra power. Had an...

Trying to replace CV boots, I have got stuck at the first stage . I cant remove one of the strut bolts (the upper one). The bolt is very stiff, I can just about move it with an 18 inch breaker bar. Any advice would be appreciated.

purchased a pair of BOGE rear struts for a 900,just looked on the box and it says saab 90 -84. 99, 76-8 84. 900 excl turbo 78- they look smaller, are they the same for a 1988 900, if they are no use for mine anyone want to buy them

OK, I've had the V6 Estate for 6 months and now want to tighten up the suspension so it goes round corners! Looking on Elk Parts there are springs & Bushes I can get to go someway toward tightening up the ride. But as an Idiot with a full tool box & basic Car maintenance knowledge, is this...

I've recently bought a 2002 model (older shape) 9-3 SE 2.2 TiD 5 door hatch, and am really enjoying it. This is the first diesel car I've owned (always preferred petrols, but I drive 90 miles a day and diesel economy eventually made more sense) and I'm sure I'll get used to the noise some...

YES - you guessed! ...Problems with the suspension. I have self levelling suspension which works great in one respect- when you fill the car it pushed down in the middle and the X shape suspension pushes up the suspension on the shocks on the outside so it levels the car out with the front...

Finally got fed up with my 1998 2.3 wallowing barge with 101k. After looking around went for the SAAB handling pack for £300.00 from Two Stroke to Turbo's EBay shop (inc delivery). What a difference! I wish I had done it when I bought the car. For me it's great. Not harsh, just taught and...

I have noticed that my 1993 aero is a bit rattly/squeaky on bumpy roads (which is most of them these days). It's not alarming, but I'd like to sort it. Would this be suspension bushes needing replacing ? If so, is it worth getting poly bushes (do they cost a great deal more) ? cheers PiG

After a bit of spirited driving on Saturday whilst trying to follow a very quick bike engined seven down some bumpy B-roads, I noticed a creak from the steering suspension. On inspection this evening I found that one of the alloy sleeves that fits around the suspension arm fixing point (where it...

I have seen in some other threads reference to the self levelling suspension available on the 9-5. Can someone please clarify if it can be put into the saloon models and whether its any real benefit on a low mileage car. I have seen the kit available from 2 Stroke and am considering it at...

I recently bought an Abbot suspension kit of ebay, 4 struts and both anti roll bars. Was it worth it, oh yes, what a difference the car is almost as smooth on the road as original but totally changed in the corners, I can now throw the car into a corner something I never did in 3 yrs of...

I have briefly mentioned this before - and I mentioned it to my dealer today - but this is one of those things that I guess you have to see or feel to beleive. Basically my dealer was not that interested. I have been reading previous posts and noted a few about rear suspension problems in the...

i have got the eibach kit on my 9-5, very happy with the handling but recently have been getting a lot of hum/vibration...anyway took the car into saabstyle cardiff today to have polybushes fitted (especially swing arm), whilst the car was off the ground i nearly passed out, the rear tyres have...
