03 9-5 101,000 miles, auto trany, wagon
I replace springs and shocks last summer with great results. This winter the ride became really bad. I took the Saab to Georges Imports, Kansas City MO. Asked that all bushings and engine mounts be replaced as needed. The upper engine mount and sway bar bushings were bad, sway bar links replace while at it. I was really surprised that things were not so bad. Had some other PM work done, oil/filter, replaced the factory fill Dexcool coolant and bled the brakes.
That really resolved everything. Needed things right for a drive to Ontario Canada to pick up some things from my Dad's estate. Needed the wagon for cargo space.
It was really great doing a long drive in the Saab again. Love this car. But it does get ignored with the BMW 535 dx diesel also in the garage.
I found the seats were more comfortable this time in the Saab, on way back home I drove 900 miles solo in one day. I have been doing weight lifting [I am now 69yo] and with dead lifts I have more muscle on my butt that makes sitting in the Saab all day more comfortable. That was an interesting observation.
