v-belts every 4 years or 60K miles.
I would say the same with hoses, but Saab OEM hoses are pretty good...even my service guy says leave them on until they're squishy or leaking. But I would replace the hoses every 10 years or 100K miles anyway!!
The AC tensioner pulley/bearing bears replacing every 120K if it hasn't been replaced by now.
Replace the ball joints every 140-160K, I like to replace shocks every 40-60K. Even Bilsteins wear out notwithstanding lifetime warranty. If you go with bilstein, at least replace the upper shock bushings at 40K. Use stock Saab upper shock bushings, they seem to last the longest.
