Ok well i didnt have enough time finish up the front right shock and rear shocks today. Tomorrow i have to go to school which is like 10 blocks down the road. I was wondering if it was okay to drive with a brand new left strut + 3 blown shocks?

Ride your bike. 10 blocks? You don't need to drive.

Drive that bish. As long as no bolts are loose.... lol

I had 4 blown struts that rattled around laterally, and just dropped when you flipped them upside down. 180k OEM struts FTW!!It might drive like poop, and you may mess up a tire though. I assume you're not aligning it after you replace just one strut, right?

If you can get a ride, do it. If you can ride a bike, do it. If you absolutely have to drive it and Armageddon is upon us, then drive it.....

Get fenders and a raincoat. I ride my bike to school (10km ride one direction) in any conditions except deep snow.
