Well, at 50K you should be doing brake fluid, transmission fluid,
differential fluid. Probably the usual filter change too (and that
includes the fuel filter), and maybe a coolant flush.

The point about loose bushings causing similar vibration problems is a
good one, and you should definitely have a mechanic go over your front
end. If the bushings are loose, the brake rotors will get worn unevenly
too, so just because you find the bushings are bad doesn't mean you can
ignore the brakes.
