Thanks for the info. I have replaced the rims and tires but the problem is still with me. Tuesday the Saab engineer is coming to the dealership to work on the car himself. This problem has been going on for a year now and no-one can seem to find a solution. Hopefully, on Wednesday I might have more info. As I mentioned he said it was a problem with the '97's and '98's that he was aware of in the two model years . He mentioned the triangle and I understand that he will probably start by unbolting everything he can see in the front end and torque them back to spec. After that, who knows? More info after the surgery. "w" <wfc_001nopsamail.com> wrote in message news:3071bdbd.0204071827.e8c30f4nopsaming.google.com... > "B.
