My car has had a vibration ever since I purchased it. Its getting worse about 2K miles later. At first it would not really shake the rear end of the car/driveline but I could feel it in the seats at say 70 and it seemed to get worse at higher speeds. It feels like it is a vibe per one revolution of the tires. Its NOT like a steady vibration/shimmy. I have brand new tires and they have been rotated and rebalanced days ago. That did not help anything and actually may have made it worse. I checked the u-joints back a few weeks or so and they seemed tight. The car was aligned before I bought it but the rear was not aligned as they could not lossen the rear adjustment screws or something!?!?! Below are the rear alignment numbers from the printout sheet. Could the alignment cause this vibration? I have noted just minutes ago that the vibe is worse when I get on the gas. If I get on the gas it feels like something back there really shakes but once I let off the gas it isn't as bad. I had both motor mounts replaced and I know the rear end gears were stepped up to 3.27's by a previous owner.

The camber was off but according to the printouts it looks like that was fixed.
Any ideas on what to check?
