When I get up to about 50mph the steering wheel starts vibrating and as I increase speed, the vibration increases also. I don't know if I need to balance the tires or what. This is only when I go in a straight line. I thought I just needed more steering fluid but it didn't help. Thanks.

I had a similar problem and it was my front wheel hub bearings and that fixed it. They run about $150-200 and are easy to do.
