i recently got my car checked and was told my rear struts are blown
every bump seems to hurt more
i was just wondering how long struts would last until it starts severely damaging my car
thanks guys.

It may have happened already. But when shocks wear out like that you tend to get broken springs. check the coils to see if they are cracked or if pieces are missing. You shouldn't be driving it at all if thats the case.

Blown struts will cause very erratic tire wear. Will increase body roll and tire hop. Usually the springs are alreay worn/damaged when the strut blows.

:3d_frown:

collapsing of the spring, bent suspension components, ect...

you can get new shocks for less than a tank of gas...
