This part, the bushing cap for the sway bar bushes, is unobtanium. No place I checked has them--thesabbsite, RM European, eEuro, Charles River Saab, Jim Ellis. The p/n has also been changed, but the best estimate was 6 weeks from Sweden. Which probably means September.
So I called Saabworks, my always amazing indy. And he had one on his shelf. Used, but then so is the rest of my wife's car. So I zipped over and grabbed it. If installing goes as well as removing the old one I'll be a happy camper.
My indy was slightly impressed that I removed the old one myself without breaking a bolt and having to drill out and re-tap the bolt holes. So was I, after hearing nothing good about this little chore. But it was all patience, PB Blaster and not trying too hard. This will sure beat Plan B which involved a couple of steel electrical conduit clamps.
And BTW, if you live in Southern NH and need your Saab ministered to, call Saabworks in Milford. Been going there for 22 years. They totally rock.
