At this age and mileage, the bushings could well be perished. You should check the stanchion arm bushing further back where it attaches to the subframe. Bushings can be pressed out and replaced as per Dean's note. Beware that the suspension set-up changed mid-way through '95. If your Saab is an early 95, the sway bar will have a fixed end connection and be connected to the stanchion (or trailing) arm. If yours is a later '95, the sway bar will have pivoting end links and be connected to the lower control arm. If you have an early '95 and your bushings need replacing, an option to consider may be to upgrade to the later set-up. An upgrade kit can be purchased for about US$420 that provides 2 new control arms, 2 new stanchion arms, a new sway bar and all bushings preinstalled. This is available from saabsite or others. This kit is fairly easy to install, although you have to support the engine and lower the subframe.
