Saab 9000 rear shock replacement

SOURCE: 1998 Saab 900se turbo

This happend to my car and it was the ABS module that failed. It does not harm your car you just don't have ABS. Try to replace the ABS sensor first since it is a lot less expensive and a lot less work. If that does not do the trick you will most likely have to replace the module itself. That cost big $$. A new one is about 1200-1500. I bought one from a wrecked card for 300 and it has worked fine for years.

Hi,there is a torx head bolt on the side of the g/box for topping up the g/box oil access is improved by removing the N/S wheel.top up with oil till it starts to overflow from here.

It is a pin and shaft setup. Not easy, loads of prying. There is no quick way or an easy way to explain it. Anyone can do it, just study how it goes together.
