i had the same problem on a '87 900s (exept mine was hard to turn to the right, and left was normal). the problem just happened to be a loose hose on the powersteering pump and i was out of fluid. does it make a grinding sound? especially when the car is cold? check the power steering fluid, if that's fine, then you're due for a new rack. that's in the $700-800 including labor. mike "Juunis" <Juunisnopsamail.com> wrote in message news:<b6abm1$poq$1nopsama.suomi.net>... > Does anyone has a glue of a problem, what I have with my saab: > > When I'm steering to left, the car acts normally.
