A little research turns up that this is a plain vanilla single row deep groove ball bearing whose most common designation is 6206, see link below for a rather complete interchange list. There is nothing Saab-specific about it, and any parts house or bearing supply that does not have it on the shelf is not worth patronizing. I haven't been into mine in a coon's age, but if memory serves it is an open bearing that needs to be packed with grease on installation. It is also available as a sealed bearing, 6206-2RS. The sealed style is used on virtually all modern front-drive wheel bearings. I know of no reason not to use the sealed bearing on a Saab and save the mess of packing it. $20-25 locally or cheaper on the net, just google the number.
The inner and outer seals that should be replaced while you are there are likewise common generic items whose numbers are stamped on them, I can dig them out from my notes if you like.
