Andy, you may have input here if you've ever changed the struts on the Saab.
My Wife's Saab, a 2007 9-3, is starting to 'thump' and rattle over bumps. Tell tale shocks / struts. I looked to see if maybe I could replace the shock within the strut but it looks like I'll be changing out the whole assembly. No matter, that's what I prefer anyway. I put a call in to Napa, and they have the struts for both front sides and rear shocks. I think I can get all four for around $300 in parts. I haven't looked yet but I assume it is a fairly straight forward bolt in operation. Anyone have any info to the contrary? I hate to dig too deep since it's her daily driver and I'd like to be prepared as possible before I pull the tires and jump in. While I am doing the struts and shocks I have a few bulbs to replace...they're still good but the computer senses them as bad, and those SUCK. Almost have to remove the bumper to get to the front marker lights. |

IIRC, the 9-3 is general GM junk in this respect.
As for thumps, check motor mounts. |

Not sure when the body style, but here's a general idea:
