I've been trying to find a 'definitive' answer on the net for this situation.

My son-in-law's car's springs seem to be shot. It really feels like it's riding on the struts alone!!

He won't change them, telling me has no money. This has been going on for aout 4 months, and it's just getting worse.

Now, the thing is, he asked me what would happen if he never did change them, and I'm drawing blanks on this.
I would presume that there might be jarring damage to the upper mounts, and the control arms, and of course the struts would wear much faster too.
Is there anything else that anyone can attest to happening, with near 100% certainty, and what could be instances of damage, and scenarios.

Thanks.
