The re-torquing of the bolts on the subframe did work. Had the same type of problems that you are describing and spent a year with two dealers trying to find the problem. Finally, Saab trouble-shooter came in and they had the car for two days. Loosened everything on the subframe and then re-torqued to spec. - problem gone. Was told this was a known problem on '97 and '98's (2.0 L Turbo) but don't know about your model year. Hope this helps. Brian "D.
