1999 SAAB 9-5 Shaky / vibration front end when accelerating

Can somebody please help me.

I have a Saab 9.5 SE 2.0ltr Estate and I am having problems - 160k on clock - full service history, oil changed every 5k and 16 dealer stamps inthe book.

When accelerating hard from a standing start the front of the car shakes/vibrates until I ease of the gas - If I accelleate normally its hardly noticable however at hard gas it feels like im driving ove a bad cobbled street.

Gut feeling is saying CV joints, track rod's etc etc

Could some onle please let me know thrir thoughts, I am certainly no expert myself however I have spoken to a garage who have said it could either be driveshaft/s or more likley a clutch problem however the clutch seems fine, have drop tested the clutch and does not slip etc and plenty of meat left on it

Im not convinced its a clutch problem as it feels like steering / drives etc and cannot forsee how the mechanic can say its more likley a £700 job over the phone without getting in the car - mechanic not a saab dealer but always been good in the past servicing my previous cars - Hyundai Coupe & MGF Convertible and Fiat Coupe.

Could someonle please advise and let me know the most likley cause of the problem along with estimated repair costs

Thanks

Rick
