I intend on looking at the upper and lower balls joints and replacing them if they are the cause of my irregular clunking sound. I will also try and swap out the known bad CV joint with the rebuilt half shaft I just bought. One question I have for fellow Saabers out there is what else do I need with me..IE bushings or other required software that goes along with this. Also, what size are the nuts/bolts used in the procedure, so I can make sure I have the right tools. I'm using the very thorogh procedure found at http://www.dave-new.com/balljoints/step1.html, but it there is any other tips it would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I will be using the TRW joints found at Sobstory.com.
