i'm also having the same 'washy' problem with my '99 9-3. after gettig new tires, alignment and tire balancing (2 times) it still drives like a '80 buick (loose, sloppy, unresponsive on the wheel and hard to keep from drifting left to right on the highway) -- and the steering wheel shakes between 55-70 MPH. i've taken it to two mechanics (one a saab specialist), neither can find anything wrong. strangely, when going up signifiacnt inclines (on the highway) the steering seems to tighten and becomes more responsive -- not tight, but must better. any suggestions? robert in ny
