might be a bad bearing on either shaft in the rear...or can be a front wheel bearing assembly in the front...can be real pricey,,,but prolly if it starts at 50...then it has to the either front wheel bearings...

start at the cheapest possibility first, make sure all your tires are balanced then move on to bearings.

Definetly check the balance of the wheels 1st.

My ride had been running perfectly smooth as far as I could tell, until I had the tires rotated. After that, prrt, I got the shaking that your taking about. I knew from the past it was going to be a wheel off balance. I litterly just got back from the shop, all 4 were out of balance. The car is as smooth as a babys bottom now.

It was wierd though, how I didnt notice a problem until the tires were simply rotated. strange.

My car shook from the upper ball joint being shot. It would shake so bad I could see the hood shake.
