Saab indie showed me what was left of my subframe bushings at 131k, they fell out in pieces when the subframe was removed, rears were the worst. Also the lower motor mount was broken 360 degrees being held together by nothing but the little band. oil sending unit was replaced, but the old one was not leaking yet. Radiator was also replaced due to a crack and it is no easier to do with the subrame out. Watch yours where the auto trans line comes it, they are known to loosen at this point...brass nut at upper passenger side. Also put in new lower rad hose. I had replaced all others a year ago along with all the other motor mounts.
I have a set of brand new Powerflex subframe bushings that I did not use. We went with the OEM rubber bushings with the 06 bushing in back, as wife still drives car and will not like the additional harshness of the poly bushings. He put the ProParts poly bushings in another aero at owners request and said the harshness was noticeable and that I may not like it.
Problem now is to replace my failed 10 month old OEM springs up front. They are Code GB blue/white pn 5234570 and it seems they are NLA. Cant find an aftermarket replacement either other than the lowering springs which this car does not need. They sagged 1.25" in 9 months or 10k. Eeuro sells some suplex springs but from what I can tell are Code GA springs and for the manual trans car.
