190 front passenger strut busted, safety?

Hi folks,

I have an internally broken passenger front strut, and by broken I mean you can twist the nut and bracket clockwise/counter clockwise easily, and a 1-yr old stut mount is starting to tear because of the extra play...is it safe to drive?

I'd like to defer new front struts until the fall.

But by virtue of the twistable nature of the top bolt and attached arm, I don't run the risk of it popping through the hood do I? I know handling and stress on other components is affected but I was wondering if I can get a few hundred out of it or fix ASAP !!

TIA!
Mike/'93 190E
