I have always heard you are NOT supposed to swap axles on a SAAB. The Inner driver and Outer CV are replaceable. The actual axle shaft is specific to your car. This goes for all 900's and 99's!
Some of the shafts are slightly different lengths and diameters and such.
I forget where I learned this, but i've been able to confirm it by comparing different axles.
Some of the rebuilds pay no attention to this, so there's no telling what shaft you will get on your new axle unit. If you get a NAPA or such, install the driver and CV on the shaft from your car.
I would replace the inner driver, and make sure you use the correct grease. Molygraph. High heat and impact w/ an anti-rust agent, i believe.
also clean out that inner driver cup real good, and check for wear by feeling for cupping w/ your finger inside the inner driver cup.
cheers!
