01.04.2005: Clamps
Left: a clamp from the 94-96 900. Right: a clamp from the 97-2002 900/9-3. Apparently, when the rack design changed in the 1997, Saab kept the clamp and increased the size of the bushing. As the result, newer cars have the rack attached by a piece of jelly. Below is the MP clamp for 94-96 900. The clamp for newer cars would be smaller in size and have a greater effect on reducing the play in the steering.

Steering rack clamp and brace installation on the 1996 Saab 900. Parts from Taliaferro, Powerflex and MP Performance.

Tools:

  • 19 mm wrench: lower nut on the Taliaferro clamp;
  • 13 mm socket: clamp bolts;
  • 11 mm socket and wrench: brace to fender bolt;
  • car jack and stands;
  • ratchet handle.
