If that is the spec, then don't worry about it. The factory has a range because a range is OK. That is, they build within the range, not to "0". > He also said that the only way to rectify this was by shimming the entire > rear assembly Correct. They use GM-Jbody shims, AFAIR. >> 2-3 hour job (approx. $250-300Cdn). Sounds a little high. I had an alignment shop shim a car for me. They charged 1 hour of labor and $60 (USd) for the shim kit. Admittedly, it was not a Saab. But, I think the shimming is very similar. You might want to look around a little if you decide to have it done. Bob
