With full respect to Joel (welcome by the way...), a wheel alignment will never ever correct a vibration at 50 mph.
That's not to say you don't need one or shouldn't get one. Just that it won't solve your vibration.
--Steering wheel vibration while driving and not braking that comes on only at highway speeds and then even goes away the faster you go is totally a wheel balance issue...as Joel says first off.
--Steering wheel that vibrates at 50 mph but only when touching the brake pedal is caused by out-of-round brake rotors.
--Steering wheel vibration at lower speeds - 0-35 mph - is often caused by a bad tire or a bent rim.
Good luck!
