For the last 60K miles my Saab has acted as if its wheels are
unbalanced.  Above 50 mph there's a clattering or hammering which
makes it vibrate.  I can feel the vibration all over the car: in
the gas pedal, the steering wheel, the door...  The vibration
worsens when climbing, i.e. when the car is pulling harder.

I've had the front aligned and various tire-wheel combinations
balanced several times.  And I've replaced the front rotors
and a bent rear wheel.

One dealer said Saabs tend to "helicopter".  And I've been told
all front-drive cars are extra sensitive to every little
asymmetry.

Any comparable experiences?
