I would be checking out the wheel bearings for the problem. I would also be checking the front suspension for worn ball joints and steering end joints. Tyre wear patterns indicate unbalance-wheel alignment-shock absorbers and front end wear. I refuse to rotate tyres for several reasons Radial tyres when developing a wear pattern will retain that wear pattern even if placed on a trailer--Wear patterns show a fault for that wheel and tells which wheel and what needs to be done to repair it and lastly tyres wear in pairs so if you have a front wheel drive car why replace 4 tyres when the need is to replace only 2 front ones. Saves about 50% of the cost of tyres. The rotation theory came about from cross ply tyres and does not apply to radials except for tyre dealers profits
Thanks Bill a great help on this one , Due to starting a new job and the tight $ situation , can I replace the one side hub assembly and not have to do the other side at the same time , I know garages typically will tell you both sides at the same time.
provided that the disc brake rotors are seperate items to the hubs there is no reason to replace both hubs . It only becomes a problem if the hubs and rotors are a unit in which case you will have to replace both to maintain even braking

it sounds like you may have a bad set of wheel bearings on one side or the other.which would mean you have a bad cv joint or one that is going bad. you may want to try to figure out which side the wobble is on and inspect that side.i suspect its going to be the side where you had the problem with the tire.

You need to have your tie rods checked out. Most of the time it will be your tie rods or your wheel bearings. You can replace your tires all day long, but it will not fix that problem.

yes your tire is unbalanced and needs rebalanced like 20 dollar fix have all 4 done
SOURCE: I have abnormal wear on
Tire wear as you outlined is caused either by incorrect toe in or camber setting. Both are components of wheel alignment. Regardless of what you were told, there is no other way that happens.
As to who gets to pay for it depends on your agreement.
