    Could lead to an uncontrollable wheel shimmy, tire wear, strain other components in the front end. Fix it, it's dangerous to drive a car with broken parts in it.

    The strutt stops the spring continueing  bouncing, It will not normal do much but can afect road holding. If it gets real bad it could fall apart the bits could damage things like brake pipes. so a short while would be ok.
