3 Rear Suspension problem of the 2003 SAAB 95

Failure Date: 08/27/2005

The vehicle cannot be loaded anywhere near is gvwr and maintain its original ride height (or anything close to the unloaded ride height) at the rear of the vehicle. When loaded the camber shifts (due to the rear suspension type) very negative causing poor handling and extreme tire wear on the inside edge of the rear wheels. I had a blowout at highway speed due to this problem.

4 Rear Suspension problem of the 2003 SAAB 95

Failure Date: 08/26/2005

Tire tread separation due to sudden wear on the inside edges of both rear tires. Negative camber on rear wheels leads to cupping and wear along the inside edge of both back wheels. With car fully loaded, tread can separate after only a few thousand miles. At the very least the tires must be replaced after a few thousand miles to avoid sudden tread separations and loss of air pressure.
