The alternator has nothing to do with power steering, the only possible connection is the drive belt.This is an open forum, anyone can post and I just did !0

It will be the alternator as Vauxhalls and Saab's have electric PAS. They have a common problem with duff alternators. Get a recon one fitted for about £50

find someone who rep[airs them via yellow pages. OR if you are handy enough with a set of spanners, buy one from ebay and fit yourself.
Yet another !!!!!! problem with the !!!!!! Saab 9-3. Saab really have discgraced themselvs with this model...!
anyway, good luck.
