Thanks for the video!! At over 400 thousand km, I'm finally changing the same trailing arm bushings with Powerflex. First I changed the 8 rear control arm rose bushings. Most of the ones that connect to the hub had some play that was causing knocking sounds. They usually go bad first.
Way to knock it out! I’m having to replace the rose bushings as well and had to press them out. I noticed you didn’t show using the supplied grease to ensure the new bushing doesn’t squeak as well. Hope you did or it’s gonna squeak like crazy down the road.
Oh the joy of working on a rust belt Saab with rust and dust pouring down.......Actually that suspension came out of the GM rear suspension chest. Used on zevental cars, in Europe on the Opel Vectra, in the US on a Saturn. With all these bushings everyehere a disaster in the waiting.
I have a 2001 2.0 9-3 hatchback. Hit a deer a couple weeks back and took out the glass headlight lens and plastic housing. Do you have a good place to find a set of side marker/blinker and headlight assembly or maybe a recommended aftermarket retro fit? Found a mk3 vw jetta racing headlight assembly that looks close enough for me to retro fit them in but wanna have stock lights on hand if needed.

Yes! I needed this video a year ago.
Are the tops of the bolts that hold the sway bar in accessible, so that loose juice may be sprayed on? Good video. Thanks.
Glad you made a video on it!! Thanks man 🙏🏼
Had mine done today on 2005 Aero convertible - so much easier on a garage hoist !
Awesome job!
How are the rear control arm rose joints where they join the hubs? They normally cause bad rear tyre wear.
Hey Kyle, any wisdom in rejoining the bushing/sleeve/bolt with 'No-Seize'?...great work, thx for showing us!👍
The metall above the back subframe bushing looks cracked on your car. I thing you need to weld it.

Any idea what are the correct tightening torques for all the bolts?
Are you interested in an 85k mile 2004 9-5 wagon that needs a clutch? get back quick it's cheap.
would some 9-5 parts from a 09 fit on a 04 that i have trying to rebuild the front of mine
Hey first!! How is the Saab? Is it in good shape?
yes! perfect shape
@@KylePancis Alrighty!! I just freaking hate GM for taking down Saab.
I guess it’s time to find a 300k mile Saab 9-5 SportCombi project?
I see what you did there with the title . . .
Hahaha... someone's paying attention lol
Watch Kyle go
