Back shock spring broke, can i take it off and drive for today?

Question

as i was leaving the driveway i heard a rowing sound. the spring was grinding against the tire. i took the tire off, the spring literally broke, if i take the spring off, can i drive it today?

Answer 1

If you're saying the car has a spring over the shock absorber in addition to the spring on the car, yes, you can drive it sanely and unloaded for a day. Don't get cocky and keep driving that way though. You'll break components. If it's the actual suuport/ride spring, no, you can't drive an un-suspended car.  

Answer 2

No because the spring is what supports the vehicle. Your not going anywhere today, unless you want to put yourself at risk of an accident and have someone sue the h**l out of you because you put an known unsafe car on the road.    

Answer 3

you could but no it wouldn't be safe at all i would say the only place you should go with it is your local auto parts store if you have to but it is very dangerous
