last weekend a metal on metal grinding sound appeared one morning -- on the front passenger side, when braking. i jacked my car up today to check it out and found some play in the rotor. after examining it repeatedly and logging in to the saabnet chatroom (badgering dallas with all sorts of questions :)) i checked the thing i should have checked immediately after finding the play -- the lug-nut, which was also loose (it LOOKED fine!)
torqued it down, threw the tires back on & the grinding noise disappeared. thanks, dallas, for humoring an idiot. :)
now i'm planning a basic overhaul for the front-end. new ball joints and tie-rod ends. i remember my brother doing this on his saab a few months back and he also replaced some bushings (4 of them, i believe.) he said that it was recommended on the saabnet boards, that it was fairly simple and helped the suspension out a lot. but i can't recall which bushings they were. maybe shocks? any suggestions on this?
