Ahh, I was just waiting to see if I came across a good deal for one on eBay.

Either way there are many more things I'd be willing to upgrade before purchasing a bov.

Any suggestions are appreciated ! Thanks!

Get a 6 point subframe brace and a thicker rear antiroll bar...makes a world of a difference handlign wise...and get GOOD tires. They are also important and are often overlooked.

Once again, many thanks for all your help.

I just came back from getting the spark plugs, oil filter, and motor oil. Will change out the oil today, and then go look fro some motor mounts.

I'll try the dealership first, and then compare with online pricing, as neither autoparts store I went to carried them. I will definately look into the 6-point subframe brace and the anti-roll bar once I'm done swapping out the mounts, as well as the new tires. [8D]

Thank you so much ! I'll be sure to post up some pictures soon.

If you want upgraded mounts, genuinesaab is the place to get them. If you want stock - eeuroparts.com (usually very quick shipping too). Don't buy dealership parts right away - check these two sources first.

http://www.europartsdirect.com/is also another source for parts.

Hehe, I think I'll be getting them from either one of those two site.

Dealership was running me about $750 for all 3 mounts. [:-]

So.. No to the dealership.

Thanks man !

Remember, if a site doesn't have a part listed - call them. I've gotten hard to find parts this way easily...

I must change my mounts myself, living on an island = no dealership or shop. I have the complete repair manuals but do not find specific motor mount change addressed... just another step in the engine removal section.
I will have to use a jack to lift the engine. Is this practical? Must all the disconnections in the SAAB manual be necessary? I was hoping to change the mounts just like my '78 Malibu: jack up engine, remove and replace mounts.

Any and all Tips, suggestions, warnings, etc. will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
