OTTOMH Saab 99, Check the Chim or Griff pages for parts listings. Replace both sides & reset camber. IIRC some variants need different spacers/shims - check against your old one. Ensure you have the big thick washers on the outside (to stop deformation into the slot).

Saab 900, could also fit 99/90 - but if you quote Saab 900 (the real ones, not the Chavalier-based, MY '79-93) you won't go wrong.
Ironically, mine was found to need a top ball joint, too...

There are some about that look fine and appear fit ok but because the body of the joint is bigger than the original you are not able to get the correct camber setting. The joint contacts the wishbone and you still need to go in a bit more.
Worth asking the question before ordering.

The genuine Saab 900 part number which is TVR OE is 8993321.
Hope that helps.
