Can you describe "broke" in a bit more detail?

If the strut really "broke" as in "spring seat collapsed" you should not be driving it around - when this happened to me I had massive tire smoke from the spring rubbing on the tire.

I had the right front spring seat collapse only a month after buying my car (85 DL) - welded on new spring seats (galvanized repair kit), replaced shocks with Boge Automatic, mounts with SKF, and the rest of the upper strut assemblies with assorted dealer items (boots, bump stops, upper spring seat). All is good now.
