Well, not 100% positive but think you are safe with 19mm.
Supaflex site says early cars are 18mm and later ones 19mm. My 1992 has 18mm; I measured before purchase with a vernier calliper and they were spot on 18mm; opened up caliper to 19mm and had 1mm slop.
If you've a good quality rule you could check the jaws of the spanner are accurate, alternatively try a 19mm spanner, buy a cheap 'Draper' vernier calliper ( very useful for all sorts of, er, measuring things )or wait a bit and someone here'll give you the troof. BTW when I replaced my rear bushes recently two of the bolts sheared......careful; took a couple of days to get the broken bolts out.

Thanks Harvey will put some WD40 on now to soak in
I thought it was only the Aero that was 19mm ?

It would appear that there is no set pattern to what size roll bar is fitted to what model 9000!! The usual assumption is that only Aeros had the 19mm bars but we have come across a right old mixture of late and early cars fitted with 18mm and 19mm bars. Saab's EPC system is less than helpful in identifying what's what. The only way to be sure is to measure your own bars.

......and when I checked the Saab EPC I noticed that the rear ( at least ) anti roll bar has a different p.n. for the same year CS and CD; don't know if the diameter is different though....
Aparently this is a common occurance when changing Anti-Roll Bar bushes.. so be warned if anyone chooses to do a DIY job. Definately dose up on WD40 well before hand.BTW when I replaced my rear bushes recently two of the bolts sheared......careful; took a couple of days to get the broken bolts out.[/b]
My 2.3FPT auto has 19mm roll bars on it. I read that only Carlsson and Aero's had 19mm but measured to play safe and sure enough!
