- Noise or binding caused by a failing support strut
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the existing strut length, end fittings, and force rating before installation. Confirm that your vehicle is a 1999-2002 Saab 9-3 with spoiler equipment, since fitment is specific to that configuration. Compare the original support to Stabilus 3B-3061KD to ensure the plastic socket connections and attachment diameters match before removal.
