If your strut is broke you can still drive it but it makes it very unsafe and noisy every time you hit a bump it will clank and bottom out.
ANS 2 -If a strut breaks it will actually change the angle of the wheel relative to the car frame, often allowing the top inner edge of the tire to rub against the strut and quickly wear out.
