99 9~3 Shimmies and Shakes

I have a 1999 Saab 9-3 automatic with 85000 mi. in my inventory that at 55-60 mph especially on light acceleration gets a severe shimmie if you back off the throttle it goes away. I took it to an Indie that has 15 years Saab Dealer experience and knows his Saabs. He said the differential bushings were worn and would have to pull engine to repair ($1200.00) I called the local dealer and they said they could do it in the car for $385.00. When I took it in they checked the bushing and said it's ok and that I needed a right axle and driver. This did nothing to correct the problem so they replaced the left axle and driver. Needless to say $1200.00 later it still does the same thing. I put it up on jack stands and pulled the wheels off and it still shakes when in gear at about 3000 RPM. Anybody have an IDEA?
