Replace the gas-filled dampers. Do *not* ask your garage to do this as even
for a complete non-DIY-er like me it is an absolute doddle. From a parts
supplier the dampers cost half what they would from a dealer - for exactly
the same parts, mind you, with Saab written on them! - and the labour is a
matter of prizing off four split rings and putting them back on, i.e. no
more than about four minutes total!

PS I'm assuming it's that easy on your car. It was on my old 1987 9000i.
