Driving 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.

Can a bent front strut cause alignment problems and a springing sound while driving over bumps in a Nissan Sentra 1997?
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.
