XWD cars will vary a bit with having a different hub knuckle and the addition of a CV axle that will need disconnected. Be sure to like, share and subscribe! Links for parts below.

Excellent tutorial. I have been a certified aircraft mechanic since 18 y o and I am 78 yo now. I have worked on planes, cars, outboard motor boats and have 12 Saab 900 's. This year I bought my first 9-3. I have watched dozens of how to fix it tutorials over the years.This is by far the very best one I have seen. Thank you for a percise and complete process.
I've just replaced both of mine, and any time I was puzzled, I referred to your video.
Thanks for a detailed how to, much better than reading wis online.
👍
SKF is original bearings. SKF stands for "Svenska Kullager Fabriken" that is swedish beariing company
Thank you!
Yes you are right.
I order from autodoc hold dubbel miles better bearings too my hold only 20000mile original and my friend have change another market to sport his have hold over 45000mile so orginal is not better...
Thanx for the excellent tutorial . I upgraded my rear dustshields today, 9-3 aero ttid (salty roads during winter in sweden), 5-door 2010 laser red 445000 km still going strong. Still original SKF bearings.
Didn’t realize how much easier the rear barring is compared to the front, I proabbly need to do this soon
Great job, will do it on mine soon 👍
Very useful! Thank you 🙏
Great stuff!
Great video, well explained, gonna replace front and rear on my 2006 Saab 9-3 1.9 diesel estate here in the UK. Ordered today Friday 5th November 2021 be here Monday 8th November. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍
Replaced front wheel bearing week ago, 2006 9-3 1.9 diesel estate. Did it without removing lower arm ball joint or steering track rod end. No need to pull drive shaft out has bearing comes out and off drive shaft when bolts removed. 👍 Keep steering straight ahead for top bolt, straight extention bar on ratchet other bolts need the steering wheel on full lock for each bottom two bolts, left full lock for one right full lock for other. Good clean up, copper slip where needed bit of high melting point grease on drive shaft splines on reassembly. New nut was supplied along with new bolts. Bit of blue (none hardening) thread lock used. Serviced brakes too. Nice and quiet now, no more whine noise. 😉👍👍👍👍
Good job
Did drivers side front a while ago now, finally doing offside rear today. 21st April 2022. Just refreshing my brain right now before I tackle the job. Nice sunny day here in Liverpool too. 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌴🌴🌴😎😎😎 Thanks Vinny.
SKF is Swedish and original in SAAB.
AWD Rear is slightly different in that you probably have to remove sway bar and lower control arm to get access to last bottom bolt for the wheel bearing.
The rear hubs on the xwd are the same as the front hubs. @@hanshaug4457
It is recommended to use copper paste when installing parts of the car's chassis. Does not rust after the parts are closed.
Hey man sorry to comment on a older vid. I've got a 08 aero xwd. When I I stopped and turn and try to drive left or right it sounds like I get a rubble and slight vibration from the back passenger wheel. My car has 70k or 43 thousand miles. I have a xwd service kit I was going to use asap from eaaabparts. I assumed I have a bad wheel bearing as when I drive the car straight at any speed there is no sounds or vibrations that I assumed a bad xwd would give. But at hwy speeds 100km or 60mph or above I get a very slight shimmy of ny steering wheel. I will jack the car up now in a few minutes and try to give my back wheel a jiggle
SKF is orginal parts. Svensk Kulelager Fabrik. World class no1 brand. Good Job. BR Norway
Good info! Thank you!!
Please ask Santa 🎅 for a wireless Mic this xmas. Love the videos but the sound is too "weak"
Bummer! I didn't realize this Weeks video sound is especially Weak 😔 I'll have to figure out a mic setup
@@WeakestofWeeks I was going to say the same. Great content; a mic would be a great add!
Well I'm just back after getting my ears syringed and I can hear it no bother🤣
Tackling the rears as we type😉
Hi Good work but.. A big No no to apply anything on the hub.. that way only the bolts to the wheels is taking all the forse from the wheel when you hit the brake and so on. I know that alot of people do this but its not good. Never do this on the front hubs. Just a friendly warning. I use breake cleaner and make the surfaces as clean and flat as possible. Especially on old brake discs. You can get vibrations from the rear wheel if you are unlucky.. otherwise nice done. :) Im on to replace the left front wheel bearing on my 08 :)
You might regret the poly. Everyone does
Very sad sound,have your cell phone near instead
Do you know where to get a replacement plastic ring?
