My car got diagnosed for needing new front struts in March 2010. The total cost is 400 dollars to get them and we cannot afford that. How long can we drive it before we have to stop or get it repaired?

Hi there,

With faulty front struts, you will have decreased stability, increased braking distances, and poor handling, you should get this done sooner than later for you safety.
