It 'will' break and the result is commonly known as 'The Death Wobble'.
It comes by the name honestly. Meanwhile the vibrations will kill the
steering damper and stress and wear the ball joints and steering
linkages pretty fast on an older beast. It can get really expensive if
left too long.

The part is in the $120.00 area or $140.00, don't remember and a half
hour with power tools on a hoist to put it on.
