The SaabSite has them but the price at the dealer isn't that bad. I rechecked my bill and they were $14CDN a side (2 per side) from the dealer in Halifax. If the pieces are not up to snuff, what you may find is that the circular surface that faces the rubber bushing is cracked or has sections missng. On mine, I found that about half of the surface was gone. In my case, I suspected that not only did the impact have an affect but that the aluminum pieces themselves had corroded badly thanks to uncoated aluminum, sea air, and galvanic action with the steel bolts holding them on. The new pieces are now coated from the fcatory plus I sprayed them liberally with undercoating.
As I said though, take a look at the pictures on the Saabsite (http://www.saabsite.com) and compared them to what you have. If you are lucky, you'll be able to clearly tell if you have a difference indicating busted pieces. You are looking for "bearing supports" part number 4426003.
