A steering wheel that shakes between 50 and 60 mph can indicate an issue with wheel alignment, tire balance, or tire condition. Imbalanced tires or uneven wear can cause vibrations at specific speeds. Additionally, worn suspension components or loose steering parts might contribute to this problem. It's advisable to have a professional inspect the vehicle to identify and resolve the issue.

Tire out of balance, tire defect, bent wheel, defective wheel bearing, loose lug nuts, or worn suspension or steering parts.
If it happens when you are driving fast (60-70 MPH) it could be that your wheels are out of alignment.
a shake in the steering wheel could be a few things,a bad rim,broking belt in one of front tires,aliment,ball joints,or could be all of these thing Could be as simple as wheel balance but have the front end checked by a mechanic to be safe.
have your front tires rebalanced.
