You didn't mention total miles? I had a similar shake on one of my 900's, and a 9000's too. under 60 no real issue, over 60 and maintaining speed the steering wheel shook, the more I pressed it the more it shook. At almost any speed if I coasted the shake went away... even at 75 or more. I could ease up on a faster speed but pushing it meant more pronounced shake.
So I discussed this with Evans Tire, where I purchase most of my tires. They had been advertising purchase 4 dunlop or 4 something else and a free alignment. Computer, four wheel. I was cautious, can you do a Saab? Yep.
and four brand new tires later, and one alignment and getting a computer printout showing me before and after, it's smooth sailing as fast I want to go.
It wasn't just tires either, I had swapped between cars, put older ones on this car and newer ones on another.
and then I did the same with my 9000, and it was the same.
