Hi Wayne,
Thanks. My symptom is that when you turn the wheel, it stick-slips. It is VERY lumpy. At first the seller told me he thought it was the steering rack. But talking to my Saab mechanic, he thinks it is probably the column u-joint. He said to spray some penetrating spray. If that doesn't work, then I think I have to replace the column (It might be easier to drop a whole column than servicing the U-joint). I haven't done this yet because it is SO COOOLD. As soon as weather warms up a little, I'll try getting into it. I've never dropped a C900 column before, so I don't know what to expect. As for parts, I haven't looked into it, because I'll probably swap out with my '90 SPG, as that car doesn't run well.
Good luck and if you have other questions, e-mail me jimtimkim@aol.com.
James
