Thought it was you in the twin top, was going to pull over for a chat but been a long day and wife had a cold beer in the fridge
Car has me a bit stumped
Had to replace wheels due to two fronts being cracked had a bit of trouble with wheels balancing but got sorted. On Tuesday I replaced the rear wheel bearing and took all the wheels of to be cleaned, When I drove the car the next day it was shaking itself to bits over 50mph. Went to get the wheels checked for balance they are fine,
So yesterday I changed both wishbones and a track rod end put the car back together and still same problem The only other thing that I have found is slight play in driveshaft on passenger side where it enters gearbox. Got a feeling I need a gearbox

Outer CV on mine caused problems like that
The play That i have found Dave is where the drive shaft enters the gearbox. Its very solid drivers side but has definite play on passenger side, Gearbox works fine selects gears no issue and no unusual noises, My fingers are crossed really as finding another cable operated saab gearbox could be a pain.
+1 on that
well problem sorted inner cv joint gone, Its had lots of new parts this month
wishbones
track rod ends
wheel bearings
cv boots
springs (Thanks TOMF)

Result
Well windscreen got cracked by lorry on way to work yesterday. New one fitted did me a favour as the one in it was really loose, had been replaced at some point and only bonded in one corner didn't need seal cutting to remove just a pull on the suction cups
