Mine had a bad shake and it turned out to be a bad front driveshaft. Take the front shaft out and give it a spin and see if that helps.

Have you taken it for an alignment?

Hows toe?

Camber?

Caster is a major cause of DW. Alignment after lift? Make sure you get read out from alignment that states toe in, camber, and caster.
Check all bushings on front end.
