Front end float past 60mph / How dangerous?
(1981 f150)
Obviously it has to get fixed, and judging from a search of the forum there's about 6 different things it could be.
Question is:
Barring loose lug nuts, am I risking my life? Or can i keep driving for a while? My biggest fear is sudden loss of steering and slowly floating into a logging truck. (One of the big ones we get here in British Columbia. ouch)
I've had a look underneath and everything seems snug. Just call me paranoid :|
Is it one of those "Get to the shop right away" things? Or can I be a bit Irresponsible let it ride for a while

What prompted the question was a thread stating that a little floating at higher speeds was common on older Fords. I guess I wanted some confirmation on that
Anyways I think it's the shocks that are responsible. Probably put it in the shop this week.
