When you take the car to a Saab shop worth their name, they check the control arms at every oil change and alerts you when cracks start to show up.
This is a very long process stretched out over many years and miles.
You start to see the cracks at about 20-30% on the inside flat surface scratching your screw driver back and forth over the area and then they slowly grow out toward where the A-arm swings around from vertical to horizontal.
When the crack has reached the horizontal area I call them about 90% cracked and from there on, it is no way of saying when they will break.
