Frequently asked questions about Saab 99 drivetrain
How do I know if my Saab 99 needs a new drive shaft?
The most common symptoms are heavy vibrations under acceleration or a grinding noise from the drivetrain. If the vibrations stop when you release the throttle, it is often a sign of worn drive shaft joints.
Do all CV joints fit every model year of the Saab 99?
No, spline counts and dimensions can vary depending on the model year and engine option. Always select your vehicle make, model and engine to ensure the correct fit.
What is the difference between the inner and outer CV joint on a Saab 99?
The outer CV joint is located by the wheel and accommodates steering angles, while the inner joint sits by the gearbox and primarily manages suspension movement. Clicking noises when cornering point to the outer joint, whereas vibrations usually stem from the inner joint.
Can I replace just the CV boot if the joint is still intact?
Yes, if you detect a split CV boot early before dirt has entered and damaged the joint, it is often enough to replace the boot and pack it with fresh grease.
Why does my Saab 99 vibrate under acceleration?
This is often caused by an imbalanced drive shaft or wear in the inner CV joints. It can also stem from a worn centre bearing that no longer stabilises the shaft correctly.
