I have been chasing this problem for some time. On my 2004 9-5 Linear Estate (69K miles), we changed the wheel bearing but this did nothing to solve the problem. My mechanic was perplexed but persistent. When going in to swap the CV joints, he noticed that my lug bolts had a slightly different taper when compared with a known Saab original. They were also slightly chipped on the very end and it ws clear that they did not seat properly based on the scoring on the tapered portion of the bolt. He swapped out the lug bolts and the noise is gone. We think that the noise came from the lug bolt striking the heat shield bolt, especially in tight turns. So, check your lug bolts.
