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.
An easy way to troubleshoot for faulty struts is by observing the front of the vehicle when the Lexus ES300 coming to a stop. There is a great chance that you have damaged struts if the front of your car dives toward the road.
