Yup it will scare the shit out of you.. as Ive written before it happened to me on -then a newish 3 T Mitsubishi truck driven it from new with tens of thousands of miles on it and in good condition then just out of the blue on the freeway it happened ..sweet geezus!! So it's a problem with straight axles not just an early Ford.
Never use a damper to cover a problem , however I recommend them for insurance... Cheap and easy to do with a VW one .
