My 99 9-5 did some rattling and shaking... usually at highway speed when I was either cruising or coasting. Two different Saab mechanics (one is a friend of mine) diagnosed it as a bad transmission mount (in front of the engine kinda towards the Driver's side). He said that another common mount was the one right under the battery which would cause a shudder usually under acceleration.
A reasonably easy way to check for that is to raise the hood, start the car, hold down the foot brake, and then put the car in drive. Give it a little gas. Let off, switch to reverse, and again, a little more gas. If you see the engine shifting back and forth unreasonably (usually more shifting in one direction than the other) than it's likely that you have a transmission/motor mount problem.
