99 turbo wobbling under acceleration

So, I just finished rebuilding my '78 99 turbo a week or two ago, and I never really drove it much, because I was waiting to have scanwest (the local shop) look it over, and set the idle and CO properly. I noticed a seemingly side to side wobbly under acceleration on my first test drive. I figured it was just the tires had hard spots from sitting for six months. So I swapped them out, and never drove it until today, when I got it back from the shop. Prognosis was very good, with them only finding a few nuts and bolts incorrect/missing... They assumed the problem with the vibration was just bad tires too. Well, I drove it home and finally got to open it up a little bit. The vibration was really bad, and worse the faster I went. But here is the clincher. It dissapears when I take it out of gear and coast. the transmission has all of eight iles on it now, and Scanwest is one of the best saab shops in the country (they did the tranny). So my question is, is there any possibility that a bad drive got put in? It feels like it is the passenger side mostly. Anyway, I checked ball joints, motor mounts, and tie rod ends, and they all look ok. If I had a bad tir-rod it would wobble while coasting too I would think. Anyway, I would love some suggestions.
