It could be:

A. worn rod or main bearings. If that's the case you'll have low oil pressure.

B. a faulty "knock sensor" that's supposed to retard the engine timing when it detects early ignition detonation.

Why is your car shaking and knocking when you get over 50 mph?

A vehicle can be shaking and knocking when the speed gets over 50 mph if there is something wrong with the suspension. There might be a tie rod loose, a wheel that is out of balance, or the ball joints could be bad. This is a very dangerous situation that needs to be taken care of before an accident happens.
