Is the vibration constant? Does it vary/occur at different speeds?
You stated that you replaced the bushing in the trans (at the driveshaft), but does it occur only on acceleration or does it occur at speed even with your foot off the gas?
Is it a vibration felt throughout the car, or does your steering wheel shimmy also?
One possibility regarding the brakes that others have alluded to is that one of your rotors are severely out of balance because of a manufacturing defect so even if your wheels/tires are balanced, the unit as whole is not. It happened on a previous car of mine (not Saab) and replacing the rotor fixed the problem. You could look into one of the machined slots and see a chunk of metal that wasn't in the other slots. A warped rotor will usually result in a vibration when you apply the brakes as the surfaces grab and let go alternately.
