I had new rubber units installed. The Saab service shop decided (without telling me) to install the standard rubber units at 90 degrees to the normal insertion method. Rationale this would cause the bushings to last longer. As soon as I took it out on the road there was this most annoying mechanical sound coming from the right front air vent (remember here in Australia we drive on the left side of the road with the steering wheel mounted in the right side the the car). Immediately turned around and had him change to the standard install. Frankly, its not clear to me how anyone can run the poly bushings. I realise they provided improved performance however the noise would just wear me down. Cheers ;-)
