    So this Saab 9-3 2.0t 2004 model. When turning the steering wheel a vibration can be felt or though its more of a knocking especially when turning when the car is at a standstill, not moving.. When you pop the hood the knocking is coming from the pipe that is connected to the power steering...

    Just an fyi post really folks in case someone is interested. When I was renewing the timing chain and guides ( engine in car) bit of a job but thats another story, I decided that I would remove the balance system due to a fear of failure. I left the shafts in bored and tapped a grub screw just...

    I have had a rattling DMF for about 9 months which is getting worse and is due to go for repair on thursday. Since last saturday the car has developed an almighty vibration from around 50mph onward, could this also be DMF related? It has the rattling noises at idle but this is a new...

    So my girlfriends' Saab 9-3, 2003 has a lowbeam headlight that just started to flicker off after a few bumps on the road as you're driving. This was happening with the left one, and when we brought the car in for some internal engine work, they had her replace the whole headlamp...
  12. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi. After a vigorous drive my 9000 started making a noise like a blown exhaust from the fron'ish, particularly noticable on the over run. When the rain stopped for long enough to check it out the noise actually appears to originate from the aircon compressor, whether or not the clutch is engaged...

  14. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    So guys, ever since I've owned my TTID i've always had a bit of vibration in the steering wheel over 70mph. I've never ever resolved it, even after numerous wheel balancing using the latest Hunter laser machine confirming all is well. Let me backtrack a minute, in October 2012 I had new discs...
  15. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Here we go again - just deciding what to do now, I've still got the 2 same problems but not sure if they're related. 1) I've never really got rid of my light steering vibration at speeds, I've had wheels balanced 3 times by same garage and they have balanced and road forced as accurately as...
  16. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    If I'm sendin her on a bit, and brake there is really bad vibration through the steering. First thoughts were warped discs. Any ideas?
  17. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    I dont understand this, I only had new disc & pads fitted Oct last year, brakes have been great but over the last few weeks I've really noticed a fair bit of vibration when braking fairly hard from high speeds. I cant believe it'll be warped discs, the only things I've done over the last few...

  19. Tyres, Wheels, and Brakes
    I'm getting vibration in the steering wheel, it almost feels like the front tire has a bubble in it. I had the front tires replaced and the mechanic says it's probably the wheel bearing on the drivers side. Has anyone else encountered this and if so what was determined the be the cause?
