ATP can be hydrolyzed in two ways: the removal of terminal phosphate to form adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate, or the removal of a terminal diphosphate to yield adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and pyrophosphate.
Driving with failing or broken struts is dangerous because they do not sufficiently dampen side-to-side and front-to-back weight transfers.
In my opinion, driving a vehicle with bad shocks or struts can be dangerous because you cannot control you vehicle from bouncing. If you were to hit a large dip or hump in the road, your tires could literally leave the pavement and cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
