It would be best to remove the driveshaft for inspection. All the joints should be smooth. Like I've said before the joints were not designed to be changed but some people have found ways to do so.

Shaking is caused either by:

1- Unbalanced wheel (damaged/bent..)
2- Cracked tyre.
3- Bent flange.

Those mentioned above can either be in the front or the back, be sure to check them all. There is no other alternative(s) I can think of.

BTW: have you checked your engine's mounts?

I don't want to sound like I think you are a #@!!#@, but have you checked the torque on your lug nuts. I know of someone who had a problem of the car shaking and getting worse all of the time. He found that his lug nuts were loose! Just a thought.
