Service Information
SUBJECT:
FRONT BRAKE NOISE ISSUE: 08/87-988
APPLICATION: M79-87 900 MODELS
Some brake noise can occur with the original equipment brake pads installed on the Saab 900, especially cars equipped with M83-86 type brake pads.
Brake noise (squeal) is most likely to occur when a car is braked lightly under warm, dry conditions. Small amounts of noise should be considered noral.
This Service Information contains advice for addressing an owner complaint of loud brake noise rather than the intermittent low noise complaint.
Always use original Saab brake pads when performing this operation. Brake pads listed here meet the Saab performance requirements and are
asbestos-free. These pads were introduced as from M87.
