* Loss of control: The car will be harder to steer, especially at higher speeds or in turns.
* Longer braking distances: Your braking performance will be reduced.
* Increased risk of accidents: The compromised suspension makes the car more prone to swerving, skidding, and rollovers.
* Further damage: Driving on a broken strut can cause additional damage to other suspension components, tires, and even the body of the car.
Repairing the broken strut or shock is essential before driving the vehicle again. Driving with a known broken suspension component is extremely risky and could lead to serious injury or death.
