Clunky suspension fixed.

I thought I would update everyone as I've received quit a bit of advice regarding the suspension noise. The Dealer never can hear the noise, however, I think it's real obvious. Seemed worse when the car is warm, for some reason. Was planning to replace the stabilizer-link arms but today, I took it to the other Saab Dealer in the area. They worked on it during my lunch hour, and I was a drop-in. The mechanic said both lower-control arms were loose. He showed me before tightening the nuts. The nuts that were loose were the rear-pivots for each lower control-arm. He got about a 1/2 turn on the passenger side and 2 turns on the driver's side. The Technician told me this was common and was surprised they didn't figure it out. He said the tale-tell sign was rust around the bushing. He said that was from metal wearing away as the bolt was pivoting within the bushing. Anyway, a big thanks to Garry Small Saab. They basically knew what the problem was before putting the car on the lift. The front suspension is completely quiet now. Guess I'll throw the new stabilizer links in the attic, for another day?
