Default Constant Vibration

Hi all, Ive got a 53 plate focus 1.8 diesel and its started to 'wobble' as I gently accelerate. This normally happens between 30 and 50 mph under load. Its the same sort of feeling as if the front wheels are not balanced correctly. Its just been with a garage who have replaced front discs and pads, driveshafts, 2 front tyres, flywheel and clutch. And it still appears to be wobbling. Wheels are balanced fine. A friend suggested that it may be an engine mount, or possibly the steering rack,could this be right? The engine does seem to rattle and move a little after I turn the engine off. Any ideas? Im desperate.

Hope you can help.
Jason
