The only thing that you will damage is your tire. If the shock doesn't hold at all, your wheel will be bouncing all over the place, and that will chew up your tire. The severity of the damage depends on how bad the shock is.

i think both my rear are blown for over a year.

havent really gotten to changing it. too lazy and dont have spare cash.

but its really noisy when i go over speed bumps and tail bounces alot when going pass bumps. feels like a rollercoaster, but can be fun.
