If it is a MY2001 car, it most likely needs shock absorber replacement
and possibly an overhauling of the linkage system. The latter also
requires alignment of the wheels.

There is definitely rear wheel alignment on Saabs. I just went through

just has not been paying attention to skewed steering wheel, vibration
at speed, scalloped tire wear, and all that other staff).
