Anyone have the Abbott poly bushings? Thoughts?

Like the subject says- and here comes the questions...
Did it tighten up the steering feel at all?
Was it worth the money (or should i just buy new Saab ones)?
Does anyone know of other poly bushing sources other than Abbott?
I have a 1997 900SE and the reason i'm asking about the bushings is because of the now intolerable steering wheel shake under acceleration at highway speeds. Whew, that was a long sentence. Now, before any of you tell me to check my tires, my wheel balance, try other wheels..........i have. I've also had the subframe bolts retorqued as well as installed new front struts, strut mounts and Eibach springs. And the shaking is still there.
So, before i go and spend lots of money on new inner drivers or axle assemblies i'd like to try the poly bushings. Abbott has poly bushings for where the stanchion arm connects to the lower arm and then some fancy bearing/bushings for where the stanchion arm connects to the subframe(?). Any thoughts on which ones might be the culprit? I'm guessing the stanchion to the subframe connection, but i'm no mechanic.
Any thoughts or help would be...well......helpful. And appreciated.
