Vibration between 50-60mph is very common. Some people report success in fixing it by having the wheels balanced on a Hunter machine. I suspect that this prevents the vibration from starting as easily, but may not address the underlying problem. Personally, I found that changing the upper control arm bushings, freeing a sticking caliper and renewing the front brake disks (rotors) for good measure worked 100%. There are plenty of other peoples reports in the archives.

Good luck.
