Front
Toe 1.2mm +- .3mm per wheel - 2.4mm total +- .6mm
Camber -.9 degrees +- .5 degrees
Caster 2.5 degrees +- .5 degrees
Rear
Toe 1.7mm +- .7mm per wheel - 3.4mm total +- 1.4mm
Camber -1.1 degrees +- .25 degrees
Camber spec varies dramatically depending on ride height. If the car sits lower, then the camber spec is numerically more negative.
Negative rear camber can be reduced with shims available from site sponsor genuinesaab. But yours is not too bad. One shim on each side and you'll be really close.
Sounds like you have way too much toe. That'll fry tires fast. There's about 25mm in an inch, so 4/100 of an inch per mm or .04 inch. 1/16" is .06 inch. (anyone, you're welcome to correct my math)
You need a better alignment shop. Ask them if they know how to adjust rear camber on a Saab 9-5. If they know about the shims, there's possibilities there.
At 61k, you probably need new rear shocks. Shocks have nothing to do with alignment or ride height though. Springs affect ride height, ride height affects alignment. I installed Aero suspension in my '01 wagon and I find the rear shocks/springs too soft.
