I am experiencing a stiff steering car as well on my 92 900. Several post have advised that the problem may be in the U joints which become "dry" and bind with a alternating stiff then easier effort to turn steering wheel.My problem similar to yours in regards to no leaks in the rack but the increased steering effort is consistent through entire turning range. I have talked to a few "mechanicals" who have seen racks fail without leaking a drop externally. I guess the internal seals begin to bypass and the powersteering looses efficiency making turning more difficult. the last post indicated that this is a "classic" SAAB rack failure.If anyone can explain this I would be interested to know and any possible preventative maintenance ideas. jk
