Dean, it is severe tire wear on the front tires which is creating need for new tires and alignment. I don't see a need for Saab to have to do the alignment (how 'special' is alignment on a Saab that only Saab can do it?)
Anyway, don't know if tranny fluid is leaking. I need to get a more detailed explantion. The service dude told me that they believe whatever is leaking is also causing my auto shift to be screwy (that's what I was complaining about).
My car failed NC emissions inspection last week, and the Exxon station guy told me he saw the beginnings of a leak in what he thought was the power steering fluid area. He didn't trace the leak but just reported it to me. He doesn't work on Saabs. He noticed my idle was off (maybe too fast). I noticed that too. Also my car shifts at the wrong time.
I had my 60K checkup done several months ago and NONE of these things were a problem then. Now, all of a sudden, leaks are springing up.
I am not a mechanic and have NO mechanical training at all. I am not equipped for DIY repairs. I barely know how to change a tire.
