I love Saabs -- I have a 2003 Aero and a 94 900S (yes, trouble all the way but I still like it). On the 2003 with 80K miles I recently replaced the rear sway bar bushings and next week I have to get the front done -- same deal, creaking, groaning. Which raises a question: why do these cars have such weak bushings? We take it as a given that Saabs will start to sound like an old sailboat, and usually at fairly low miles. My 2004 Focus has the same miles -- tight and quiet. My 1990 Miata has 110K on it -- tight and quiet.
So what's the deal? Swedish rubber? Design flaw? "They all do that, it's one of the quirks?" I'll keep my Aero forever, but this aspect of Saab ownership is weird.
