There may be a domino affect here. A loose steering or suspension part will casut the alignment to be out and cause the tire to wear abnormally.

The shake may be from the wheel being out of balance from wear, a loose steering part, a bad tire or a bent rim. Although it is possible the the cv joint is bad, it could cause a shake but not a tire wear problem.
