What I'm really interested in are specific differences between the C900's and the NG900's. The scrub radius is rarely, if ever zero, so there will always be tortional effects on the wheels (this is true for rear as well as front wheel drive cars). We read so many complaints about torque steer on all the NG Saabs, but everyone reports different symptoms - camber steer, torque steer, rut steer, etc. The differences in the sensitivity between the old and new models is obvious, though the steering precision and road feel seem the same to me. I've read a number of good explanations on these boards and elsewhere about various issues and trade-offs with suspensions, but no one has ever been able to explain to me exactly what Saab did with the switch to the NG900, and why. From the number and variety of complaints, I assume that there is one factor which is perhaps amplifying various other suspension issues. Is it solely a matter of offset?
