If the shake is from the worn part, the inner CV joint's tripod/rollers that ride in the drive bucket they must be swapped side to side or replaced.

Camber and toe being out of range isn't going to cause a vibration under acceleration, that goes away under decel.

Wheel balance is a completely separate issue from an alignment. Not being aligned after lowering isn't going to cause a wheel balance issue unless you managed to remove the wheel weights while you lowered the car. (highly unlikely)

Nope. Aligning the car will not fix a vibration under acceleration. Tire guy is wrong
