Recently my '94 Saab 900s started making a rattle sound at around 2.5 k rpm. I assumed this was the drive belt because I knew one of the pulleys needed replacement. I changed this and the noise was still there, and got worse. The noise rapidly turned into a loud repitive banging noise. I have been told it could be a big end bearing. The car has 100k miles on it and a full service history. Is this likely, and if so what can I do? Thanks for the help. John
