That definately sounds like a ball joint, then. Having the mchanic flip out like that was kind of like the straw that broke the camel's back - I decided to get rid of it, as much as I'll miss it.
The shop I took it to wasn't a dealer, but they specialized in Saab and has been working on them for about 25 years now, so I trusted their opinion a bit more than I would another mechanic. They did tell me the shaft was bad, or I might have a bad power steering rack. As for how it feels, it doesn't feel any different warm or cold. The power steering went on and off for awhile, and about a week ago it just quit completely and the car is terribly hard to steer around turns or when backing out.
