IF it [STARTS] @ 50mph U could have water in the Tires.Did it start after your tires were mounted? {Alignment} {Air Pressure}will cause tire wear.A Bad Dampener Shock on the Front Steering will cause a wobble {like was a previous answer} (back&forth on the steering wheel) U Joints will cause a Vibration,butt U should feel it get worse as U accelerate from about 20mph on.Laderal runout on the tires can cause said problem like impropper balance.Seperated tire.IF its front wheel drive a very bad CV Joint will cause said problem.Have seen a broken Transmission Mount cause it.etc.etc.Bad shocks will cause the Vehicle to (float) not keep the tires on the ground.

It could be a number of things! take it 2 the nearest garage at under 50mph!! get them 2 look at it but it sounds like tracking & wheel balancing or buckled wheel.

it may be some problem with the tires or the rims, most of the time when you are parking and you don't calculate the space of your tire with the cement you hit your tires, that kind of hit causes the tire bad formation and loses the form a little bit, when you drive slow the problem is gone but when you go faster the problem is bigger, the same thing happens when your rims are to old or in a bad condition you should take the car to the shop, and ask for a revision of tires not just a balanced service some alignment should be done

There are a lot of things that can cause it, some are just annoying some can be dangerous. Since you are asking this question, it's evident you don't do many mechanical
repairs. With this in mind take it to a legitimate garage that will check it out thoroughly. Before you get hurt or hurt someone else! I didn't mean the repairs statement as an insult, it was just a logical conclusion.

you don't mention what car it is, if it's a 4 wheel drive or rear wheel drive then jack the car up and there's a long shaft bolted onto the gearbox on a pivot and bolted onto the rear axle try grabbing hold of it and turning it to check the Universal Joints it should have a maximum of 10mm play in it each way if they're old any more than that and you can bet your money it's that!
quite an easy cure but quite fiddly.

The car itself is out of Aline
You make have hit something and the undercarriage is out of a line.
Sometimes you can tell this by sitting on a flat surface and turning your headlights on and seeing if they are together in a line or not.
Steering wheel when you let go goes to the right or left.
Another words just having your tires balanced in not answer
Go to a shop like a Pep Boys and have them check it then if they say yes you are out of Aline SHOP around for a shop that will do the work ...............

You don,t mention what type of vehicle you are driving but some vehicles have a steering stabilizer or dampener,it is similar to a shock absorber for your steering system and if they are weak they can cause a symptom like you describe. Jeep vehicles use them and if they go bad you can get a very frightening shimmy at highway speeds. I mention Jeeps because I work at a Chrysler dealership but any vehicle with a similar setup could experience the same condition.

most likely cause is one or more wheels out of ballance, take your motor to quickfit or similar and ask them to ballance your wheels. i reckon this will sort it and it will be like driving a new car. i had a peugeot 306 and it used to shake like hell at 80 mph you could feel it on the rear end then i had some new tyres fitted on the 2 rear wheels and after that i had no more problem. good luck hope you get it sorted.

Tracking and or wheel balancing, wont cost a lot at a tyre fitterrs probably under £20....worst case scenario is propshaft but I doubt it very much.
