My car from the date of purchased (used) would always steer to the right on braking to a stop. I finally came upon a FAQ on a page for Townsend Imports which has service bulletins available to download. It stated that if you have your Saab aligned by someone other than a Saab dealer you probably will not get the correct alingment. It gives the correct settings for these jobbers machines. I had my car realigned with these specs and my problem went away. Link as follows: http://216.78.172.244/suspension_folder/ftendspec.htm By the way my toe in was off by a total of .250"
