2004 SAAB 93 arc 63,000 miles. Broken coil spring. I was driving at highway speed when I felt a large thump. My steering went erratic and heard grinding noises. I pulled over immediately. Car was towed. The cause and damage was determined to be a broken coil spring which chain reacted and caused the front strut to break, and bend the stabilizer bar. After researching this, I have found this to be a common problem in 03-05 SAAB 9-3 (listed with NHTSA as well as other sources) it is not recalled and SAAB has yet to determine if they will fix this as a courtesy. Bill, $1200.
