    Could be, or could need an alignment, tires need balancing, wheel bearings, blown out shocks, and other little things.

    At what speed? They all float a little at 75MPH+

    They float a lot at 90MPH+

    I think mine floats a little more than it did when I bought her new in 2002. But highway speeds in my area have increased too so it may be that it's more perception. Remember, it's really a truck. It's underpinnings were setup for not really much more than 65mph cruising.

    upgraded suspension, large all terrain tires
    these are trucks/SUV..persay...not sport car....the ' float' could from any number of factors..bad tires.tires out of balance.wheel alignment
    wore out bushings, shocks, suspension, etc etc...poor roads, certainly don't help...
