134 k is about time for a suspension re-do. The main culprit would be the strut mounts, followed by control arm bushings, maybe struts since you are in there, your strut bearings...that should pretty well cover the front end. Rear shocks and add a Genuine Saab rear sway bar, pop for the the steering rack/brace as well if you dont have it already. Based on my experience with these cars, your springs are probably ok. OEM type Boges are probably the best shocks/struts to go with. I found the Bilsteins and the Konis too harsh. Forget the lowering/slamming stuff, the roads are to bad where you live, besides it is really cheesy on a Saab.
