<<expect this problem to occur around 100k to 125k for most balance shaft equiped 900/9000/9-3/9-5 models.>>
I think many would strongly disagree with that statement. I would have to suggest that the life of those components is determined by the engine oil used and how often the oil was changed.... which depends on the climate and driving profile. Wear is controlled by the state of the engine oil. My modified 95SET was on synthetic from the start and ran very well, smooth, very powerful and quiet until it was bit by a rabid SUV at 150K. The quality of the oil filters used also plays a part. And remember that factory recommended oil change intervals are not optimal for engine life, and factory recommended oils recorded in owner's manuals are not to be followed. One needs to keep up with the factory recommendations for current engine production. And as seen on the 9-5BB, the concensus is that the 15,000 change interval is insane. The 15K does allow Saab to only need to pay for two free oil changes and inspections instead of three at 10K. So the message is not to blame the engine or the design for early failures. And 100K to 125K is early.
