It's scared when you drive it that fast. Take it in for a front end alignment, that should calm it down.

1- CHECK WHEELS MAKE SURE RIMS ARE NOT BENT AND TIRES ARE NOT CRACKED OR OUT OF SHAPE.
2- CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
3- WHEEL BALANCE
4- WHEEL BEARINGS FRONT END
5- WHEEL ALIGNMENT
6- CHECK SPRINGS AND SHOCKS
7- CHECK FRONT END SYSTEM IE: TIE RODS-STABILIZERS-BALL JOINTS ETC.
AFTER NUMBER 2 BRING THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND GET A WRITTEN REPORT, THEN GET A SECOND OPINION AS SOME PLACES WILL TELL YOU YOU NEED A BIG JOB WHEN IN FACT IT COULD BE SOMETHING SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE. IF A TIRE BELT HAS SPLIT CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO SEE IF IT HAS A PRO RATED WARRANTY.
GOOD LUCK

Check the tires, chassis, and alignment. Something is seriously wrong man. Better let a profession handle this one. Also, check with the car manufacturer - they might have issued a recall in the past that you missed.

most likely need to get the tires balanced.
You could always try asking the guys at askautopro.com this question. They might have even more ideas of what could be wrong. You definately do have to do something about this. This isn't safe.

Start with getting the tires balanced and properly aired up. If this doesnt solve it, you need to take it to a mechanic ... it could be loose ball joints, loose tie rod, bad U-joints .. a number of things.

it sounds like the wheels need to be balanced, try this first and make sure to check all your tires, If this don't work take it to a good mechanic to resolve the problem.
Good Luck,

You probably just need an alignment, I had a similar problem and that did the trick.
