A broken strut can cause the tire to crash into the wheel well. This can cause loss of control of the vehicle and it can cause the axle to break.

∙ 10y agoDriving with a broken strut can lead to a loss of vehicle control, as the strut is responsible for supporting the weight of the vehicle, maintaining tire alignment, and absorbing shocks from the road. It can cause a bumpy and uncomfortable ride, increased stopping distance, and uneven tire wear. Continued driving with a broken strut can further damage other suspension components and potentially lead to a loss of control. It is crucial to have a broken strut repaired as soon as possible.
No!
No, you can't. If the strut is broken, the whole corner of the car will collapse going over a bump and could cause more damage.
A broken strut will definitely affect your tires. They will wear quicker, and possibly off center. As for the broken strut affecting your brakes? Mainly for the fact that your car will not be performing correctly, your steering can be pulling to one side or the other, and when you brake, this can be enhanced.
Driving it.
There are many dangers associted witha broken heater such as a gas leak or the risk of freezing on cold winter nights.
hydraulic fluid leaking from it, broken spring, broken/grinding bearing plate (some struts)
Yes it is possible. I have a 2001 sentra and recently replaced the front right strut and coil spring. It didn't have a springing sound though, more of a clunk sound when driving over bumps and on turns. The strut was bent and the coil spring broken. Also the sway bars had play. It was safe to drive with play in the bar, but until it got new links put in, it still made the same sound.

Not a good idea. Play it safe and have it towed to the garage for repair.
