Bought a 1993 900s last december. last summer, loss of power, car ran, nobody (2 Saab indies) I took car to could diagnose. I pulled all belts and then HB, found damaged HB AND mangled key on crankshaft. On my car, the key is not removeable from crank, had to replace engine with lower mileage one as result as it was cheaper than R/R crankshaft. Only thing I could figure is last yahoo who replaced HB never torqued it properly and the wobble ruined the crankshaft. BUT, wobble was NOT noticeable at idle, I looked there many times as did indy techs. Sorry I can't give you advice on where to go from here with your shop, but I can sympathize with you on what happened. Also, this is NOT a common problem with these cars and I do not believe it had anything to do with "shims" but rather mechanical incompetence.
