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.
Greetings From Arench! To generalize struts last about 60-80k miles under most conditions. Driving over rough roads like potholes or dirt roads can shorten strut life. Driving a car thats often heavily loaded down can also shorten strut life.Operating the car in extreme temperatures either hot or cold will shorten strut life.ear struts generally last longer than front because there is less weight for them to manage in the rear. You can bounce test the car by pushing down has hard as you can in each corner several times, when you let off the car should not continue to bounce, it should stop at is normal height.
