It could also get bent pretty easily on the newgens from what i've heard in which case no alignment would be able to make it right.
Looks like the standard saab solid rear axle to me. 900/9-3 is a little different but still "solid" rear axle. The only car with a split rear axle is the 99+ 9-5s... and maybe the new stuff.
