My steering wheel shakes when I hit about 55-60 miles per hour. Also when I hit the brakes the car shakes. There is also a small humming soud. What could this be.

I can think of a few things. But as you said there is a "humming" sound, I would start with your hub/wheel bearing.

If that is good, check your ball joints and tie rod ends (both inner and outer). Also check for "bulging" tires.

Remove brake rotors from the vehicle, and have them checked on the machine for warpage.
