If you clobbered a curb you might want to take a look at the A-arm bushings, more specfically the bearing supports on the front bushing. There are two of them, one on each side of the bushing. Made of aluminum they can break allowing a bit of movement at the front of the A-arm (which might explain your drift). I did the same thing as you and noticed one day when I was under the car that the bearing supports were mostly in pieces. They run about $14USD a piece and not hard to change. Take a look at them on the SaabSite and compare to what you have on the car. Since they can break oddly, they might account for the "snap" as they bind the front bushing.
