apologies to Robert Pirsig--
BEING CAREFUL NOT TO GET WRAPPED UP IN PULLIES OR OTHER MOVING PARTS(!!!), you can do this yourself. Take a long shanked screwdriver (or similar tool, a foot long or more, preferably with a hard plastic handle) and place it on the engine side of various pullies, shafts, etc. Press your ear firmly against the end of the handle, and give it a listen. It's very easy to isolate the noise source of many bad bearings, bushings, knocks and raps.I rely on this often. It's a shame that many garages do not.
Become ONE with your Saab.
