Lack of Parts Availability Posted by Brianatl [Email] (#1832) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Brianatl) on Sat, 2 Aug 2014 11:30:46 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Decided this year to replace front struts in both of my '02 Linears. After strut and mounting kit replacement, one of the cars now has steering wheel not wanting to return to center after making turns and intermittently acts squirrelly . Took it back to shop that installed struts after local Saab specialist who fixed an ACC code issue stated car appeared to not be aligned correctly and he doesn't do alignments any longer(?). Tech pointed out that before he addresses steering issue I should have passenger side axle replaced as upper cv boot is split and has lost alot of grease and there are holes in coolant hose where it connects to bottom of coolant reservoir allowing slow loss of coolant when warm. Drip was real obvious when standing under the car! Hose had to be ordered last Tuesday from Jim Ellis Saab here in Marietta since stock hose can't be used due to sharp bends hose must follow. Hose has yet to arrive. Axle took a day or two to source but is in. I'll keep old axle so it can rebuilt and installed if I ever need another one replaced although not sure yet where to get the boots it needs to replace the original ones.
