I've been using a solid Saab mount in the front for several years now and still working good. I replaced the upper dog bone and the rear right mount as well at about the same time so that is probably saving the front mount from too much "pull: forces. If all the other mounts are bad and you throw in just a Saab cheap front mount, it probably wouldn't last long. I believe my Saab mount was a Corteco later, bolt down style, if I remember right. I'm still glad I saved the money, but if it fails anytime soon, I probably won't be too happy with doing the job again. I've gotten pretty used to just driving the car and not working on it.
