How much would it cost to replace a lower torque strut? It's the strut right behind the front right tire.

What is your question?

I had a coolant leak and while under the car, my friend noticed I had a crack right through a rod. I looked up what it was and it was my torque strut. I'm in the process of getting a possible water pump repair and if the strut is going to be more than $250, I can't get it done just yet. We have reason to believe this is what has been causing the knocking in my engine and the knocking has been happening for almost 2 years now. Will my car be safe to drive short distances with a bad strut until I can get it repaired? I need it to get to work and back while I'm up at school.
