I would hold on to front control arm bushings-it's rare for them to fail.
Don't try to save couple bucks on aftermarket parts (eeuro offers either ones)- ask me how I know.
Sway bar bushings- pay attention- if you look up on thesaabsite you'll find 2 different types (by year-p/n 8965378 & 8968992.
You also will need sway bar link bushings (2 each for one side-p/n8953986).
Now from my personal experience: with your mileage I would order just 2 OEM front sway bar bushings (p/n 8965235f) only. Why? I did that with my 88 9K.
Problem was- rear shaft? on control arm where bushing is mounted was worn.
At first I got aftermarket and they had big play. Swapped for OEM- better, but still little play. It's not acceptable. I needed new control arms. Maybe it doesn't happen often, but make sure you don't need whole control arm before you order everything else.
