There is a Saab dealer nearby - maybe a donor 900 can yield the drive shafts (are they close to equal length?) and/or a steering column, or steering wheel (with airbag).
Are there any trailing arm rear suspensions with only a lateral link in the center i.e. no beam axle? Maybe I can get something close to what I need?
The steering arms are almost always behind the king pins, right? And the steering rods have to be straight out to the steering arms, correct? I want to use manual steering, and the steering linkage needs to also push the appropriate front wheel skirts outward when needed, so the steering "stuff" is going to be interesting.

I think the old VW rabbit I had back in high school had the same type of rear susspension you are asking about.
As far as the steering arms front or rear of the king pin, that all depended on who made the vehicle and where they chose to put it.
