If it is the upper shock bushings, then you may just want to torque down the nut at the top of the shock. Lift the hood and find the top of the shocks by following them up from the wheel well. Loosen the lock nut and then tighten up the lower nut (then tighten the lock lock again). Cost equals zero. New bushings can found at any auto parts store. They are not unique to SAABs.If it is the ball joints, it should cost you less than $100 for all four (try sobstory.com). Check the townsend site or http://www.geocities.com/davenew.geo/procedures/index.html for an appropriate procedure. However, the bolts that hold the ball joints onto the control arms can be a bear to get loose (often rusted together). They may require alot of rust remover or heat or both.
