This problem seems common for high mileage saabs, and if your tires are ok, a often discussed reason are worn engine mounts and/or inner cv joints... dunno, even if it really helped,(my 88 900T16 250kKm does it too) i wouldn't bother to change any of those parts, since it's a big deal to do.... (ok, mounts are not so dramatic, but quite expensive) -- hth... ben
