Question Vibration under load / acceleration

Hi guys, new member here. I'm looking for wise advise... Here is my problem:
My V50 2006 2.4i, all of the sudden start to suffer from vibrations on LHS.
Funny thing is when I drive alone I can barely feel it, can even make 3 digit on motorway. When car is fully loaded, (we have three kids), from around 70-80km/h car is getting bad vibrations at LHS wheel area.....Especially when accelerating under hill..... When coasting down , no accelerating no vibrations - all normal. When I drive speeds up to 60 km/h or in town traffic all good....
I suspected worn lower arm bushing, so I replaced whole arm to be sure, no luck.
I ordered driveshaft (Shaftec UK), I replaced , no change... I Also replaced full set of torque mount and LHS engine/transmission mount (all Febi), no luck. Vibrations are still there. There is no noise from wheel bearing (however I cannot be sure), probably after the time I'm oversensitive , I have feeling at low town speed that LHS wheel is sort of "wobbly" but I jacked up couple of times and there is no play I can feel. I haven't hear any noise etc from transmission , however from time to time I found that shifting to 4 gear is quite hard (maybe not related) clutch was replaced about 40 k km ago. Car has 140k km on the clock. If anyone has similar problem please share wisdom. I'm loosing hope....
