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.
Properly working struts help your tires make contact with the ground. Your steering and braking depend on the tires being in contact with the road to work properly. So if your struts are bad you compromising your ability to turn and stop.
