I have a 86 Saab 900s which also has a front end clunk. This only happens when the I use the brakes in reverse. It has done it for a while and someone said it was something common with Saab brakes. Is this correct or is there a problem? John Scarpulla wrote: > I am stumped by this one. I have a 1983 non Turbo 900 with manual shift. > It has 180,000 miles. New steering rack at 100,000.
