I bought a 2004 saab convertible in april of 08. After a few months I began to hear a chirping noise from the front end whenever I would go over sharp bumps. The dealer also heard it and they replaced both struts and the swaybar bushings and greased everything they could for two months it was quiet but now it has returned I cant think of anything else up there that hasnt been changed or greased any idesa thanks ken
