How much damage will this really do?

[nealtovsen@yahoo.com (Neal Tovsen)]

If the struts are actually bad, it won't directly
damage anything, but you're far more likely to lose
control of the vehicle.

If money is a big issue, I would at least get some
inexpensive replacement struts/shocks and install
them. A good cheap strut is far better than a blown
expensive one. Monroe or similar should be very
cheap...maybe $20 a corner? The rear shocks are pretty
easy to replace yourself. The front struts aren't too
difficult either, but a bit more work. The only
remaining issue is that you'll need an alignment after
doing the fronts...
