Unbolt the rearmost subframe bolt holding the stanchion arms (16 mm socket).
These bolts tend to wear out on the bottom end, so consider a pair of new
ones. Pull the arm out of the subframe.

Stanchion arm bushing replacement on a 1996 Saab 900SE turbo. The old worn
out bushings are being replaced with upgraded polyurethane bushings made by
Powerflex.
It is not totally necessary to pull the driveshaft or disconnect
the control arms. You can even deal with the bushings
right on the car, but the room would be rather tight.
Tools and supplies:
- 32 mm (1¼") socket: hub centre nut;
- 24 mm wrench and socket: stanchion arm to control arm bolts (for
Taliaferro bushings);
- 17 mm socket: wheel bolts;
- 16 mm socket: stanchion arm to subframe bolts;
- 15 mm socket: control arm to subframe bolts;
- 13 mm socket: lower sway bar link nut;
- 11 mm open wrench: upper part of sway bar link;
- 10 mm Allen key: caliper bolts;
- 5 mm Allen key: rotor index screw;
- Torx T55 socket: stanchion arm to control arm bolts (for
stock bushings);
- gear puller and a hacksaw (for old bushing removal);
- torque wrench;
- car jack and axle stands;
- breaker bar.
