Default HELP w/ JK

I have a 2008 JK Renegade (sport). Last weekend I was on a trip, driving at about 75MPH when the Jeep started shaking. First I thought it was due to tire pressures and a bump in the road. Later i found a blown shock. No big deal as I was on my way home to install my new TF 2.5" coil lift with new shocks. While installing the lift this weekend i checked all of the suspension components to make sure they were all tight. Took Jeep out on a test drive and bam right at 70MPH the shacking comes back. go back to the house and find that my passenger rear wheel is slightly off camber. Is this the culprit? also the shacking is produced at lower speeds. Bad axle bearings? I will be pulling the hubs tomorrow to check them. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hey thanks for that link. I believe planmans inspection will find my problem. After watching the 'death wobble' video i'm sure that is whats going on.
