Noise in the rear of my 900s (and stubborn 'Check Engine' light)
Posted by moscowj (more from moscowj) on Mon, 13 Mar 2000 01:34:58
I bought a low-mileage (35K) 1990 900s last year. Soon thereafter I
noticed it started to ride rather rough in back. When I took it in for a
maintenance check-up I asked the mechanic to also check the shocks and
bushings (the place deals with American
cars and Volvos - not SAABs unfortunately). He told me to replace the front
bushings, which I did, but he said all checked-out in the back. Now months
later I am frequently plagued by a heavy thumping/clunking sound in back
when going over bumps (a dull but shaking ba-bum), and a persistent rattle
in the back hatch area (hatch door or some other source). The sounds are
not so bad at higher speeds, but are really prominent between 25-45 mph even
over the smallest of bumps. As I usually have to drive on worn old city
roads at these speeds, these sounds resonating in the cabin are driving me
nuts. I have examined the back area myself (including spare tire well)
wihout noticing anything obviously out-of-whack, although I admit not to
know exactly what all to look for. Any advice?
Also, my 'check engine' light has been coming on/off. Sometimes it stays
on, other times it will remain off for a few days. I just had my O2 sensor
replaced, so I am stumped as to why this light still is giving me problems.
I am not blessed with local SAAB expertise, so
could really use some advice. Any idea what's going on with my SAAB?!
Input would be greatly appreciated!
