My wagon spent 3 weeks at dealer for rear end vibe...

...and still no resolution.
Has anyone figured this one out yet? My '03 wagon (44,000 miles) gets a pronounced vibration from the rear end at 70 mph+. It is definitely a "seat of the pants" vibration. My dealer had the car for three weeks, gave it back to me yesterday and told me they were able to significantly reduce the vibration by replacing the rear shocks. (And yes, they did test the car with another set of wheels/tires to rule out my wheels and tires). My wheels were also Road Force balanced.
So...I get out on the highway, and lo and behold, the car is vibrating just as badly. I call the dealership, they are now calling the factory rep to see what he recommends doing.
I know several of us on this board are dealing with this issue, and the dealership acknowledged to me that this is a known problem with 9-5s. As far as I'm concerned, this vibration is unacceptable. I'm a Saab fanatic, but this is shaking my faith in the brand. If this isn't fixed, I'm moving on to another brand. It kills me to write that, but this is my second 9-5 (and fourth Saab). I had to get rid of the first one due to several niggling, returning problems.
Any input is appreciated.
Brian
