Ford CMax 1.6 Zetec (Petrol) - Shaky CMax at 50mph-60mph - h2o

Hi
I have a 2006 Cmax 1.6 petrol which I bought two years ago.
The issue is, the car shakes between 50-60mph and has done since I bought it. I've had front wheels balanced and there's been no improvement. The steering wheel is not affected by the shaking and it also seems worse if engine is at higher revs - although not sure if that's just because car is travelling quicker through the 50-60mph range...

Any help much appreciated.

Rear wheels out of balance will give a vibration you won't feel at the steering wheel.
