Default somethings wrong

everything seems normal up until around 50 mph. then my steering wheel shakes like crazy and seems to be pulling to the right. i dont think i could have messed it up by hitting something but who knows. what do you guys think?

We're you recently in a crash?
Have you recently installed any mods, especially involving suspension or wheels?

You might want to check your alingment and tire pressure.

most likely a wheel alignment, does the wheel shake and pedal pulsate at hight speeds when braking?

pulling to the right might be road corwn.....most roads arent level to make water drain off more efficientlly. so your car might pull right bc of this. alignment wont solve your problem (shaking) unless you have new or even worn tires. sounds like a balancing problem to me. (shaking)

Pulling to the right is usually due to underinflated tires....
