BALL JOINT REPLACEMENT

YEAR(S): 1983-95

MANUFACTURER: Saab

MODEL(S): 900

DATE OF ISSUE: March, 1995

ISSUE & TIP

Use the following procedure to replace upper and lower ball joints on Saab 900 models:

  • Cut four pieces of 1-inch square tubing, about 4-5 inches long.
  • Place two pieces of tubing under each upper control arm, while the vehicle is still on the ground. You may have to lean on the X Xl fender a little bit to fit the tubing into place.
  • Now raise the front wheels off the ground.
  • The tubing will wedge under the control arms, causing the suspension to "hang" and allowing you to change the ball joints easily.
