I had a NG900S that had slight "shimmy". I took it to a trusted Saab shop and I was told this was normal for the NG900s. The design of the NG900 suspension changed from the Classic 900s, which is why the "shimmy" was so noticeable. You can take to a shop and have the wheels checked for bent rims and out of balance. You could get the front end alignment and the steering rack checked for your peace of mind. It did not cost me anything because the car was under warranty at the time. Other issues with the car led me to sell the NG900S. Check the forum for other posts on issues with the NG900 design. Expensive repair points to look for: automatic transmission control module, GM V6 engine, AC system design, minor and major electrical failures. Hope your son has better luck with his! mkw wrote: > What...you only get 30mpg???
