Hi George, I've done several sets using the febi bearings from eEuroparts, all good.
The one thing you must remember to do is to tighten the axle nut *BEFORE* you drive the car. Tighten as much as possible while the car is still on the jackstand, then when the car is on the ground do it some more. I use a 1/2 inch breaker bar and slide the handle from a full size floor jack on it, much easier to get a good torque on it. You may need a press to get the bearings out/in. before I got a press I took them to the saab dealer and had the mech do it. I slipped him $40 to do it, it was well worth it to me. The I took the knuckles home and reassymbled. You will need to block the upper A arm up, a special tool is suggested however many on the board have done DIY substitutes with good results, then you can just take all of the bolts out of the uppper and lower Ball Joints and remove the entire knuckle to get the bearing done. (you do need to remove the axle nut and the brake caliper before this too).
