rear axle issues. Posted by Dan [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: BTW, are the rear wheel arches..., SebCH, Sat, 13 May 2006 02:07:31 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
One thing that will probe problematic will be the panhard rod. The mounting points are all off from the later 99s and the 900s. I have heard that a 9000 rod will actually work and seen one case where the owner claimed the rod was from a 9000. You can always cut/bend/weld at will there but it is an important part of how your car rides...it keeps the axle centered.
The other thing will be brake cables. The early cars should have SAE threads while the later 99s and 900s have metric threads. You'll have to have some flex lines custom built for you to accomodate the swap. Not the end of the world but something to think about.
Moving the alternator on top is a mess due to the heater core inlet and outlet. they are not in the same place on your car as on the later 99s. http://www.demeis.com/motorsport/hardware/saab99story.html this guy has done some fancy stuff with a '73 model.
Good luck.
Dan
