Hardly anything, really. What is a flex joint? Do you mean CV joint? Always inspect the rubber cover, if split the CV goes downhill quickly. Mufflers are consumerables, but you only need to replace one piece, just locate the problem. I get a 'Kwick Fit' rather than the original Saab piece. Aerials must be lubricated! this is an own goal; the aerial on my 93' Saab works fine. All in all your Saab is in good shape. > Out of curiosity, has anyone experienced a problem with the foam in > the driver's seat being sliced up by the metal frame, to the point > where some major mods along the lines of plastic tubing, webbing and > contact adhesive were necessary?
