I have an 89 900 SE Turbo that has had a vibration in the front end under acceleration and oddly enough, when going up a hill more so than on the level. New rims, tires, bushings all done and still not solved. Only really noticeable on acceleration and not a problem on the steady run. Also at higher speeds seems to be more distinct - 120 to 140 kph. Dealer says they took out the CV joints and they are not the problem. One other posting suggested that it might be an inside bearing on one of the drives. Please let me know if you come up with the solution.
