a huge CLUNK when I bought it 10 years ago. It would clunk when backing out with the wheels turned to get onto the road, and then it would clunk one more time as I straightened the wheels out as I drove off. It was 100% embarassing in a parking lot, it made such a loud CLUNK! Turned out, it is a "common" problem with the front wheel bearing moving sideways within the steering knuckle (hub). I guess you can use shims to make the bearing stay in one place? I finally asked a great Saab dealer in Augusta, Maine about it. He said - "Change the right front wheel bearing". I did. It fixed it. As for the rest of the problems, I would still suspect the axles & inner drivers. Good luck. Vern
