You can drive with broken shock absorbers, but it is unsafe. The current design of automotive shock absorbers is integrated, with sealed ends that are crimped and cannot be disassembled. Damage to shock absorbers is usually caused by oil leakage due to failed seals. Oil leakage indicates that the shock absorber has reached the end of its lifespan and needs replacement. Here is additional information: 1. Components of a "Shock Absorber": top mounting bolt, thrust bearing, top mount, shock absorber bumper, spring, and shock absorber. 2. Symptoms of a faulty shock absorber: When test-driving on bumpy roads, the vehicle makes a "thumping" sound. This can be caused by two issues: either the stabilizer bar link is loose or the shock absorber assembly is faulty. To determine if the stabilizer bar link is loose, you can remove it and test-drive the vehicle. If the noise persists, it confirms a shock absorber issue; otherwise, it indicates a problem with the stabilizer bar link.
