Im a 19 year old and I just got 2006 9-3 Turbo and your videos have been helping me a lot thanks and keep up the good work!
Thank you! Means a lot :)
Excellent! I'm sure you know this, but there isn't a good video out there showing how to do this (until today). I wasted a bunch of time sifting through forums for this info. The future Saab owners thank you!
Thank you! Yeah, that’s part of the reason why I made this haha :)
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate it!!
Nice man best saab channel rite here
Thanks dude
Those rims just don't get old
😌
Literally just broke one of my jackpoints this weekend. Great timing
Yeah, this car is missing one of them on the back 🤦🏻♂️
@@AutoAutopsy I have the same issue 😅
@@cosmosk8s you can pop them back in easy, push in from the top where it goes in the car. the middle will pop out, shove it back in the spot and push the middle up, give it a tug and if it stays you're good.
Amazing video
Thanks!
Thanks for the video
No problem!
I got lucky and my jack clears by a hair, but those wood stacks would be handy for certain things like fixing the front spoiler that loves to pop loose occasionally. Gonna have to cut a couple of those boards. Thanks for the idea. :-)
Definitely! Yeah it’s super easy and will cost ya $10-20 at Home Depot. Totally recommend getting some
Very helpful thank you. My saab fell on me once it was so scary
jeez...
Great vid man, very Nice. In the owners manual I think I remember 3 points at the rear which is good for jacking up the car. I think you used one if them here and the other two are the the ones that can be seen in its vicinity (correct me if I'm lost). Have you ever used the other two at all? Would be great to know. I don't wanna go wrong here since the jack could pierce through the floor 😩.
I’d assume the other two are on the rear suspension, but I always use the tow hook. Easiest way to do it
@@AutoAutopsy Ok, I dubble checked, it's two of them only. One is the one you used with the tow hook. The other is the exact same spot only mirrored. So it's on the opposite site of the center line (top view). I wish I could post the pic here but CZcams doesn't allow...
So I had an idea that I wanted to do but I'm not that mechanically inclined. I wanted to put a Infiniti g 37 engine in my Saab 9-3. "Poof" "The heavens open" Your welcome for the idea. I'd live to see the video.
there is zero benefit to doing that. the 2.8T is better in every way and already a stock engine
I put wood blocks between my jack stands and the side jack points so I don't cause further damage to the plastic.
That’s a good tip too
This video is very informative. I have a 2005 Saab 95. Would the same apply here? Thank you.
Look in your manual, the jack points should be mentioned somewhere.
I would not recommend to put the jack stands by the spare jack markings. In the front use the rear control arm bushing instead and in the back put them under the shock absorbers or control arms. This will not damage the placement for the spare jack lift. This goes for both the 9-5 and 9-3. The will work for most "newer" cars with a multi-link rear axle, and is way better than the other way.
Owners manual should say
Is there a inline fuel filter or gearbox in line filter for saab 9-5
i don't know, sorry.
Is your Saab a direct import as you have Swedish plates in the front?
no, it's for aesthetic purposes only
Where can I place the hydraulic Jack under a 2006 wagon 9-3, lift it so that I can place the Jack stands in the proper places?
bro that's literally the entire point of this video...
Hey I saw you were running a 245 wide tire. Do you think that tire would fit on a 05 95 aero. I want to run a 245/40r18
I would assume so, but I’m not as informed about the 9-5. A forum search might give you a more definitive answer!
@@AutoAutopsy Okay and thanks for the reply. Yea reading the forum i already know I'm going to have to run coilovers to fit them. Im hoping that if I run a 8.5 wide wheel I won't have to roll the fenders.
Looks like the tread on one of your tires may be delaminating.
It’s from rubbing on the front over bumps
I would not recommend to put the jack stands by the spare jack markings. In the front use the rear control arm bushing instead and in the back put them under the shock absorbers or control arms. This will not damage the placement for the spare jack lift. Even is you can't use it =)
And why are you rotating the tyres? Are the rear ones worse than the front ones? The best tyres always goes on the rear to prevent hydroplaning. Even if you live in warm and nice Arizona it must rain at some point =)
Because you’re supposed to rotate your tires, and I hadn’t done it in a year lol 😂
Where would you place the hydraulic Jack to lift the rear and then where would you place the Jack stands? Mine is a 2006 9-3 Sports Combi Wagon 2.0 Turbo. Thank you.
What jack stands are those?
Old craftsman stands!
@@AutoAutopsy I was wondering what those flat tops are called. They are literally perfect for not destroying the car jack area.
Jack pads are unnecessary than I assume?
depends on what you mean. My jack has a rubber pad on it already.
@@AutoAutopsy I was thinking about in between the jack stands and the points. They are so sus
anybody ever think about Turning a saab into a Elcamino ?
There’s a couple people who have!
