Finally found time to get some work done on this and tom came over to help. Had the parts stocked for a while and work may be up in leeds so best to get these jobs done now!
First off was replacing the lipped rear disks. Had new pads so threw them in at the same time. pretty easy to do on this really!

Then on the front replaced the top mounts and bearings. A droplink wouldnt come off one side but that one was okay so we left it. THe passenger side the droplink was bad so replaced that side.

Steering is smooth now. Also swapped the tyres front to back as the rears were wearing on the inside because of factory camber and the fronts were wearing on the outside due to roundabouts and hoonagansim. There seems to be a lot of wear on the fronts in the centre of the tyre which would be due to over inflation. Not sure whats going on there as i set them to 32psi which seems to be the recommendation. New tyres will have to come soon. Ive had the car a year and a half now and these tyres went on last summer so theyve probably had about 12k on them which is decent. Will have to order some new ones soon. Havent taken it out on the road but hopefully will see some improvement. Cyclones just fit over massive saab brakes!
