If this is what I believe your problem is. I would check if wheel nuts are tight. You probably have an excessive end play at the tire rim.
If this is the case. It is urgent to have a look and fix it NOW.

Hope it helps.

SOURCE: steering pull and tire wear

If professional alignment does not straighten out alignment & tire wear, you can "tinker" with the settings to straighten it out. Caster is pre-set & non adjustable. You did not mention toe-in.(which more often causes wear. If the steering wheel is not horizontal it shows a possible toe-in problem, as can wandering. What condition are the tie rod ends and ball joints? Be sure everything is tight before doing anything else. If you make any changes, make small ones, write everything down and use good reference marks that will not wear off. Once a small change is made, drive for a while & check tire wear often.
You are correct in persuing this matter, but If you did not buy the car new, even a minor previous accident could throw the body out of whack enough to give problems like you are having.

SOURCE: shaking in the front end

Have the brake discs checked, as they may need to be machined or replaced.Also have them check the idler arm and tie rod ends.

SOURCE: I have a 2006 Tacoma. When driving and turning

Check your suspension in the front for worn or damaged parts to include upper A frame retaining bolts, especially if you've been four wheeling. This is most likely a ball joint or Tie rod or connecting rod issue. The only other location to look would be the CV joint. In most cases you would hear a clicking sound when your are turning and driving, if it have front or 4 wheel drive.

I would think that you may have a problem with a cv axle. Usually a bearing will make a roaring noise all the time while going down the road. Jack the car up on the right side and see if the rubber boot on the axle is seperated. if so you need to replace that axle. Hope this helps leave comment.

REAR passenger tire makes loud clunking and grinding noises when turning more than 30-45 degrees above 5-15 mph

I don`t think you have cv axles in the rear of that.My guess would be wheel bearings could be grinding. Donut spares are strickly to be used for short periods of time and not to be driven at any higher rates of speed. Some damage may have occurred during the actual incident when you had the flat initially.Damage to the rear axle itself,

My car shakes when i get to 55mph or higher and shakes when i brake to stop

you have a warped rotor and possibly an imbalanced tire as well..did you ever use "fix a flat"? that will do the same thing as well to fix that? you'll need to bring the tire in to a tire store and empty the remaining fix a flat stuff and the tire leak fixed correctly. if fix a flat was never used it's the first two things I mentioned imbalance in the rim/tire or warped brake rotor

Steering shakes at low and high speeds and pulls to the right

If it only does it when you are using the brakes, I would check the brakes on both sides.
If it does it without using the brakes, I would look for a bad tire on the front. One of the tires could have a broken belt inside the tread.
Could also be a bad wheel bearing on the front.

Try rotating your tires from front to back. It may help with the noise. Get a front-end alignment which can also help with the noise by correcting a "rub" sound that originates from the 2 front tires fighting each other for control.

The place which replaced your bearings is probably correct. When you get bad bearings they do not always fail evenly across the 360 degree turning of the bearing race. If you imagine a donut with a flat spot representing your bearing- as the donut spins with the flat spot cause by a disintegrating roller, the tire is bolted to the donut. The tire is going to hit the pavement differently every rotation because of the play in the bearing is at that same spot.

This play will create small cups in the tire shape at the low spot transmitted by the bearing. When you replaced the bearing , the marks in your tire tread remained. These edges need to be worn off. Or some tire stores can Shave a tire, in an attempt to make it round again.

If you have a normal size spare, you can put the spare on the left front side of your vehicle and see if the noise goes away. If the rims are different on the spare, you can have everything remounted and pay for rebalancing and put the unused spare as a front tire. Then you know the spare is at least good as a spare, but noisy.

When going over 60mph car shakes

First thing would be a tire balance. Could be that the old weight fell off or a curb was rubbed causing a slight wobble.
