Guys Help! Car started shaking and pulling right

Was cruising on the highway about 80 for about 40miles then all of a sudden car started non stop shaking and pulling to the right a bit. I had my tcase whine for a few months, could it be it? Loose drivetrain bolts? .Shaking happened instantly and increases with speed. All rims/tires are fine..and no there were no bumps on the highway.

Im curious if it could be the transfer case not providing enough drive to one wheel or something. Good call on the weights.
How can i check for the axle? Get it on the lift?

Have you looked at the other suggestions yet? If not, they need to be checked first in order to rule out those as the possible culprits.

Bad strut? Possible broken spring?

Thanks for the suggestions. My evo shop is all backed up so should I take it to dealer or will a regular mechanic be able to tell on a lift?

The transfer case only sends power to the rear......

Sounds like a bad axle to me. Check the boots and see if they're torn. Also grab the axle shaft and try and move it to check for play. The cv joints could be worn out but didn't rip the boots. Also check the shock and see if its leaking. When the shock is bad it provides no dampening and the spring is what is absorbing all the bumps of the road and it will bounce.
