Just changed the bushings on my 95 1.9 manual diesel( edition) , I didn't realise how much a worn rod decreases performance and steering and handling until I changed to the power flex manual specific red Bush and normal purple one, what an improvement, very happy and thanks for the video 😁
All I can say is WOW! These polyurethane bushings made a huge difference. I knew my bushings were bad but not that bad. Thanks for the video! Liked and Subbed.
Hey, I'm watching your videos for years now and today I also did change the engine mount of my 2002 Aero. Again it was very simple and straight forward following your way of working! Best regards from Germany!
Thank you so much for this video, found out why my car judders when pulling away thanks to you! Just ordered the parts. Got a 9-5 Aero Wagon 2002, following your channel very closely. Takk!
6:10 Bussningen sitter 90 grader fel. The bushing is 90 degrees wrong way. 7:00 Är det samma siffror på alla årsmodeller och både automat och manuell? Jag får fram olika när jag söker, finner inte vad som gäller på min 9-5 från - 06. Is it the same touque spec for all engine and transmission and years? I find different numera but i can't find whats vorrect for '06 9-5
+bartendersweden The comparison is in the flexiness of the old and new bushing. The engine still moves, of course, but there is no knocking noise anymore.
Really? They looked pretty decent from what I saw maybe I'm just being dum here. Also, did you have a hard time putting back the three small bolts back and torquing them? I have a long torque wrench and I don't think I can get it to those bolts.
Well, I agree with you that the shape of the rims fits the 9-5 quite well. The three small bolts were slightly tricky to get to and I couldn't fit my big torque wrench, but my normal ratchet wrench (the orange one you see in the video) fit without an issue.
+Trionic Seven: For Saab Enthusiasts If I were to use my normal ratchet wrench, how can I know for sure that I tightened the bolts to the correct torque?
+Ali Measure the torque on the big bolts, get a feel for it, then use the ratchet. The bolts are so big that some over-tightening won't cause any trouble (IMHO)
The square bushing, even stock and new, has a certain amount of play in it. I have replaced all of the mounts for my automatic 9-5 except for the transmission mount, and I just ordered the rear (square) poly bushing only. I think that just replacing that one because of all the slop in it will stop the transmission from giving a slight kick when it's shifting at certain engine load/gears.
I cannot for the life of me get the bolt holes aligned after replacing the larger square bushing. I see you recommend loosening the plate above but I don’t think I can reasonably access those bolt heads. Are there any other tips or tricks you recommend?
Hej! Jag har ett problem med min SAAB 9-5 2,0t, när jag släpper gasen för att sedan gasa till "klonkar" det till. Kan det vara samma fel som ovan? Grym kanal förövrigt!

Hi, Did you have any trouble getting the front bolt out? I'm about to start on this job. The clearance between the bolt head and the catalytic converter looks tight. Thanks for the video, Peter
Hi. Also have the 2.3L and the idle is a little rough inside for this car class, new CPS, new TB, new DIC, no air leaks, took it to a Saab specialist, he said all B235 engines are like that at idle. I have 222.000 km. Is it possible to check all motor mounts by pressing the brake and clutch pedal like you did? The B205 from your wife seems quieter at idle and most other TH-cam B205 seem also quieter than the B235. Do you also notice the 2.0t quieter at idle than the 2.3t or is it just me? I´m even considering the GM 3.0t V6 because of the 2.3L rough idle. May sound snob, but its sad to notice the idle vibrations in a petrol Saab as much as in a W210 320 cdi diesel car :( Do you know where can I find decibel (dB) data from a test (even if its in swedish) where they compare 9-5 petrol different versions?
+Agv G V Hey! I would def. check all the motor mounts. There are four, including the torque rod. I don't have any experience with changing them out, however, nor do I know what difference it will make. Something I would also try is to change the idle rpm slightly (done with tech2), you might have resonance at the idle frequency and then that will help. Good luck! Don't even think of the 3.0L V6, that's a crap engine.
fråga till dig om du vet nån eller om du har byggt egen baslåda till en Saab 95 från -00. Jag har monterat in en eftermarknads stereo vid namnet Kenwood KMM-101GY till ett slutsteg vid namnet Bass Face DB2.1 och ska driva en bas vid namnet JBL CS-1214. Allt ska vara korrekt kopplat och allting är helt så är ingen fråga om det! Det jag inte förstår är varför inte basen spelar? Det är fortfarande original systemet som spelar fullt ut.... har testat flertal kablar och slutsteg och testat basen i kompisens bil som fungera där. Kan tillägga att jag har nå form av "pilot paket" på min 95:a alltså typ hardan kardon eller vad det heter, vilket jag förmodrar är AS3. Vad har jag gjort för fel? Börjar bli tröttsamt att sitta på original ljud.... Kan tillägga att jag testat med RCA-3,5mm in till steget med mobilen utan resultat. får signal ut men spelar endå inte. basen är hel då vi testade den i polarens bil....
+Robin “PaXx” Calén Hej! Jag har tyvärr inte mixtrat något med billjud alls, så tyvärr kan jag nog inte hjälpa dig. Hoppa in på stcs forum och ställ frågan där, de är kunniga.
Good Day Sir, I just did this mod with the predicted results so thanks for the education. Question - why, on the original bush, is the hole oval-shaped? My bush was mounted centrally within the bracket-to-gearbox, as seen by the circular clean marks on the metal insert, but surely it would be possible to mount the original with the bolt off-centre? Regards - Doug
I just looked up pics of new ones - there’s a metal centre in the large (rear) bush, with an oval hole in it. Replacements, certainly Powerflex, have round holes.
I just replaced it on my 2003 2.2 TiD Auto, and it was no hassle. I didn't have to loosen any brackets, as the access to the bolts was easy. The biggest job was removing the engine shield underneath :-) All of the spooky noises are gone. Again: Thanx for posting the brilliant video!!
You know how to clean these pieces hitachi boost sensor PS6105 it's very hard to find for buying y have many problems with this boost sensor Thx for your time
I went to check my torque rod after watching this video... it is gone ! My torque rod has fallen off !! It is a 2001 auto Aero.. Lots of new rods on amazon and ebay but no fitting kits ... Do you have part number for bolts etc ? Many thanks
Wow...gone?! How is that even possible? I'd ask in our community forum, I don't have part numbers with me right now. facebook.com/groups/733705113501723/

I test drove a Saab 9-5 recently, it had a bad shake from the front that came through the floor. Could the shake be because of these bushings? I did not buy the car.

The bushing you showed was perfect. The bolt hole looked oval like your bolt was loose.

The bushing is 90 degrees wrong way.

Nice new rims you got there, better than the old ones I must say!

Yes, you are correct. But this bushing often goes quite bad, and replacing it gives good results. I have a friend who put alu bushings in instead ;)
Did it work like expected?
@@Supermarx1978 Yes... but sadly the car was involved in an accident a few years ago :( It worked great for a while though! lol

Hello Trionic Seven, I didn't see you having to jack the car up correct?
Literally the first frame of the video shows the car on the jack

Glad you found it useful :)
Isn't the square bushing mounted 90 degrees wrong?
+Sigbjørn Yep.
lmao! "yep"
Well if it worked then no harm done! :P
@Sgbjørn So, is the square bushing supposed to be mounted 90 degrees different.y from the video?
@@milkphish4122 Yep 😅
With the notches pointing towards the end of the rod and inwards.
And the "flaps" pointing up and down

I don't think I had any trouble, remember that I have a custom 3" downpipe (not stock).

The hole is oval-shaped because it has worn out the rubber! It was round from the start :)
You are talking about the metal right?
I just looked up pics of new ones - there’s a metal centre in the large (rear) bush, with an oval hole in it. Replacements, certainly Powerflex, have round holes.
Skulle göra detta precis, skulle dra 70nm på ena bulten, sen så gick den av och tog med fästet i vlådan
Is it the same on Automatic gearbox? I have problem locating the rod...
It should be roughly in the same position as the manual, but the rod looks different

Hi

Are there any advantages to change ALL the mounts with poly?
Why wouldn’t I?

I will
good job but u forget to show the engine at the end when u started it
Yeah, I know. It was almost eliminated.
I test drove a Saab 9-5 recently, it had a bad shake from the front that came through the floor. Could the shake be because of these bushings? I did not buy the car.
I'd guess tires or wheel balance first.
did your car has the gear-allignment problem before changing the bushings? (if its a manual)
Nope, not that i could feel. Great question though!

Hi Trionicseven, would this fit 1998 model also?
No, the 1998 has completely different torque rods,you can only change the square rubber which is the 221
@@robmueller8143 thanks for your response
Is there only one torque ?rod
Yep, only one, but there are other components of the motor mount system.
is it the same in the 93 ?
No, unfortunately not.
Did you solve the problem?
Yes! I forgot to mention it in the video.
Observation, after watching many of your videos, GM really went cheap with parts compared to Saabs built by SAAB in Trollhattan.
mine 1996NG 900 SE Turbo has none of these ailments 200 000 km , Cheers
The smaller bushing is very difficult to get out. I only ended up replacing the big end. I think it was causing most of the noise anyway.
It wasn't too bad when I found something to push with.
Frustration is always part of car-repair 😂
:)
Wow, this is just bad design... might be better to see if aftermarket 'solid' rubber or polyurethane upgrades are available.
What is bad design? The powerflex bushings are perfect, I just installed them wrong.
