These are unfortunately common failures on a 9000 and consider yourself lucky to have made it to 50K. The two mounts at the top of the engine use the exact same bushing inserts # 75 73 333 and cost $12-28 depending on where you buy them. eEuroparts.com and thesaabsite.com are both good aftermarket sources for these and other common parts. It's fairly easy to remove the torque bar that holds the rear one, but removing the front one is a bit more time consuming: it requires removing the inner fender, the serpentine belt and finally the alternator. Once removed, you'll have to find someone to press out the old ones and press in the new ones. Failed top mounts will accelerate the wear on the hydraulic lower mounts, so you will want to consider doing these. Good news: they can be accessed easily when you have the inner fender removed. Bad news: they're about $100 each at discount! Good luck!
