Exact same story at the exact same shop for a 2002 9-3 Convertible. It is a lot of hogwash. I find it utterly unacceptable they tell people to get their own damn steering aligned wherever (if not in those words). They should subcontract it if they can't do it locally. I am writing to Saab USA about this. ...pablo "Alan Zaza" <alanzazanopsamdnet.att.net> wrote in message news:miwi9.30682$1C2.1691145nopsamsc04-news.ops.worldnet.att.net... > I recently noticed my 2001 9-3 drifts to the right a little bit when I let > go of the wheel, and the steering wheel looks off center to the right -just > slightly when driving straight.
