Hi Folks, I have a '87 900S and the steering is getting pretty squirelly. Over bumps, around corners, and during quick changes of speed is when it feels loose in the steering. I am assuming this is a problem with the ball joints. The car has been in this condition since I bought it in August. Surprisingly, the shop I took it from was supposed to fix this, but the steering actually felt looser after they did the repair (is that possible?). On my first Saab (an '86 900) I had essentially the same problem. Is this something an amateur DIY'er can work on? If so, can anyone point me to a resource? I bought this car for $1000. I recently discovered that all four calipers are rusted, and quickly the repairs are adding up. Thanks in advance, Steve
