Hi,
I'm planning to replace the shocks on my 1992 900 in the near future. I did some preliminary investigation of the rear shocks, and it seems likely that I will have to cut the bolts to remove the shock absorbers (I sprayed them with penetrating oil, which might work, but I'm planning for the worst case scenario).
I have been informed by my local Saab dealer that those bolts (the horizontal bolts at the bottom of each shock) have been discontinued as a Saab part. They recommend that I purchase a shouldered bolt, grade 8, of the correct length.
And so I'm hoping that someone in this group can give me some of these specifications. Especially how long the shouldered part of the bolt should be, the thread pitch, and whether I need a washer. I can find out myself after I remove the bolt, but I'd rather have the replacement on hand in advance.
Thanks, John
