HELP!!! Do I need new shocks/struts?? Alignment/drop is off

I NEED EVERYONES OPINION ON THIS!!!
I have been on H&Rs with stock shocks/struts since January, my car has 59k miles on it.
I noticed two weeks ago that my alignment is off (steering wheel shakes a little above 60mph) and that the front right side of my car is a little lower than the front left (wheel gap is a little less).
I think my front right strut is blown.
Before I go ordering KYB AGXs (which I know I should do anyway) I want opinions as to whether or not the strut is blown. I havent noticed a difference in the ride, but the look and vibration leads me to beleive that the strut is done. Nothing else would cause the alignment/height problem. I also had an alignment about 2 months ago, so it should still be fine but isn't.

PLEASE give me your opinions. I'll order the AGXs tonight if possible and install them on Saturday if thats what needs to be done, even though money is tight.
Thanks...
Tony
