Is it safe to drive my vehicle on the highway with my struts going?
I can't afford to get them fixed before I have to travel.

If they are just starting to wear it is safe, but if they are badly worn such as the springs are broke dont drive it at all! I would fix asap if its the shocks going out on it.

If its just a little soft you can drive it just avoid bumps and sharp cornering, if the springs are worn on it, replace asap.
