Default Steering Wheel and Tire issues

I have a 2003 Camry. Since I bought it, it has the following issues:

1. Shimmies at speeds above 70 MPH. This behavior is really weird. You
sometimes feel a wheel vibration, and the Steering wheel is smooth,
but then the Steering wheel starts to shimy and the tires become
smooth. At one given time, it's either the wheels or the steering
wheel.

2. At any speed, after I turn left or right, the steering wheel
shimmies strongly when returning to straight possition.

3. Sometimes the Steering wheels produces a clunking noise, when
braking or accelerating.

I have already:

1. Had all wheels aligned
2. Had wheels balanced a few times, even replaced with new Rims &
Tires.

Any tips are appreciated.

Thanks

Failing CV joint is a guess.
