Default Shake is gone but .....

Ok changed out passenger side front wheel bearing unit, as it was bad. This got rid of a horrible shake, but now I have a wobble that feels as if the tires are oval at low to high speed?
I'm thinking allinment cause of changing wheel bearing, but can't get past the thought that maybe I bent the axle or something from beating on the old wheel bearing with a BFH
Any insight?

Actually I had gotten 2 new tires. I put them on the back assuming the old ones were ok as they were originally on the back. Turns out I needed all new tires but I'm broke so the old tires are on the back as they aren't properly round and the new ones are on the front.

So proper rotation may be needed.
