Anyone know of a way to grease urethane suspension without disassembling? I was thinking a syringe w/ an oil/Grease mixture. Squeaking front end driving me nuts......Any special grease type???????

There are two special SAAB greases that are designed to fix this... See here:

Ok thats the disassembling way, I really dont want to break my suspension down if I can avoid it...
If you have a grease gun, this needle adapter might work. After you load the link, scroll down to page 77, and check out adapter #82784. It has a zerk inside the sleeve that is not viewable. That is how it attaches to the grease gun fitting. I know this because I have one of these. This adapter is actually designed to inject grease into a hole that has no zerk installed. It may or may not work for your application. If it doesn't work, at least now you know of its existence.

You may be able to drill through the mount and bushing, and install a grease fitting.
This is a quick job, just a few minutes.

Thats a great idea! The bushings are in a sort of sandwich set up. I could tap the top and bottom flange and prob work out ok... Thx
