Just changed the bushings on my 95 1.9 manual diesel( edition) , I didn't realise how much a worn rod decreases performance and steering and handling until I changed to the power flex manual specific red Bush and normal purple one, what an improvement, very happy and thanks for the video 😁

Really? They looked pretty decent from what I saw maybe I'm just being dum here. Also, did you have a hard time putting back the three small bolts back and torquing them? I have a long torque wrench and I don't think I can get it to those bolts.
@TrionicSeven9 жыл бұрын
Well, I agree with you that the shape of the rims fits the 9-5 quite well. The three small bolts were slightly tricky to get to and I couldn't fit my big torque wrench, but my normal ratchet wrench (the orange one you see in the video) fit without an issue.

+Trionic Seven: For Saab Enthusiasts If I were to use my normal ratchet wrench, how can I know for sure that I tightened the bolts to the correct torque?

+Ali Measure the torque on the big bolts, get a feel for it, then use the ratchet. The bolts are so big that some over-tightening won't cause any trouble (IMHO)

The square bushing, even stock and new, has a certain amount of play in it. I have replaced all of the mounts for my automatic 9-5 except for the transmission mount, and I just ordered the rear (square) poly bushing only. I think that just replacing that one because of all the slop in it will stop the transmission from giving a slight kick when it's shifting at certain engine load/gears.
@TrionicSeven6 жыл бұрын
Yes, you are correct. But this bushing often goes quite bad, and replacing it gives good results. I have a friend who put alu bushings in instead ;)

Hi. Also have the 2.3L and the idle is a little rough inside for this car class, new CPS, new TB, new DIC, no air leaks, took it to a Saab specialist, he said all B235 engines are like that at idle. I have 222.000 km. Is it possible to check all motor mounts by pressing the brake and clutch pedal like you did? The B205 from your wife seems quieter at idle and most other KZbin B205 seem also quieter than the B235. Do you also notice the 2.0t quieter at idle than the 2.3t or is it just me? I´m even considering the GM 3.0t V6 because of the 2.3L rough idle. May sound snob, but its sad to notice the idle vibrations in a petrol Saab as much as in a W210 320 cdi diesel car :( Do you know where can I find decibel (dB) data from a test (even if its in swedish) where they compare 9-5 petrol different versions?
@TrionicSeven9 жыл бұрын
+Agv G V Hey! I would def. check all the motor mounts. There are four, including the torque rod. I don't have any experience with changing them out, however, nor do I know what difference it will make. Something I would also try is to change the idle rpm slightly (done with tech2), you might have resonance at the idle frequency and then that will help. Good luck! Don't even think of the 3.0L V6, that's a crap engine.

Good Day Sir, I just did this mod with the predicted results so thanks for the education. Question - why, on the original bush, is the hole oval-shaped? My bush was mounted centrally within the bracket-to-gearbox, as seen by the circular clean marks on the metal insert, but surely it would be possible to mount the original with the bolt off-centre? Regards - Doug

fråga till dig om du vet nån eller om du har byggt egen baslåda till en Saab 95 från -00. Jag har monterat in en eftermarknads stereo vid namnet Kenwood KMM-101GY till ett slutsteg vid namnet Bass Face DB2.1 och ska driva en bas vid namnet JBL CS-1214. Allt ska vara korrekt kopplat och allting är helt så är ingen fråga om det! Det jag inte förstår är varför inte basen spelar? Det är fortfarande original systemet som spelar fullt ut.... har testat flertal kablar och slutsteg och testat basen i kompisens bil som fungera där. Kan tillägga att jag har nå form av "pilot paket" på min 95:a alltså typ hardan kardon eller vad det heter, vilket jag förmodrar är AS3. Vad har jag gjort för fel? Börjar bli tröttsamt att sitta på original ljud.... Kan tillägga att jag testat med RCA-3,5mm in till steget med mobilen utan resultat. får signal ut men spelar endå inte. basen är hel då vi testade den i polarens bil....
