Do not use the ATF. This will harm the rack in the end. Only use the prescribed SAAB power steering fluid. It will cost a little more, but will save your rack. In my opinion the rack of Dick his SAAB is gone. The only remedie is to replace the rack. Will cost appr. f500,= ($200,=) for a rebuild rack. A.
