By your description is sounds like you have soft springs. I must be reading your post incorrectly.
My steering does not seem to be loose, but when I turn the wheel sharply, there is/was this delay and squirmy action that did not feel right in the pit of my stomach. IE, nausia. It is some kind of loosness. I can't say that my 95SET is bad with crowns. But I did find that much of that behaviour disappeared when I switched from P-Zeros to Michelin Pilot Sport's. So, perhaps there has been some progressive deterioration in my suspension that the Sports has been masking.
I cannot detect any ball joint, tie rod looseness by my own inspection, and the dealer found everything in order at a Spring inspection. So far, they have not called me up to tell me that I need new tie rods or lower control arms (with the non replaceable ball joints). I have no idea about the condition of the strut upper bushings. No complaints there. Perhaps they will detect some issues there while doing the work.
Anyways, by the end of the day, all of this should be resolved. George's imports has some good people there. The still give one of the junior mechanics a hard time because he has less that 17 years of Saab experience! I don't think that they are pulling my leg, but it does sound hard to believe!
