Great tutorial!

Something to note, however;
The bushes on the rear of these cars had an engineered level of flex in them, part of a passive rear wheel steering shared with the Vauxhall Vectra which was based on the same GM platform. So you're sacrificing that system in exchange for the extra strength.
It's also why orienting the bushes in the arm correctly is so important - if they're not the suspension won't flex correctly or equally.

Would love a video on how you change these bushings! Thanks, you're an invaluable source of info for us 9-3 owners!

Would you ever be able to do a video in how to change the rear upper control arms?
Many thanks

Hey Cyclone, I've got a bad ABS pump and it's massively expensive to buy a brand new one. I wanted to remove a good, working ABS pump from a junkyard 9-3 near me and put it in my car. There's no real good videos on youtube about how to do it.

Hi, I need to know some information about the clutch line, the hard rubber hose kind of under the battery on the 2.0T. Fluid WILL leak out when engine cold (or warm for either matter) right? And after putting a new line in, you will have to bleed the clutch right?

Over Christmas so far my back box fell off (exhaust), washer pump stopped working and now my speaker on the dashboard behind steering wheel has started hissing at me haha!

Have you heard about Saabs ReAxs? I think this effects it negatively.
