would it hurt to drive a car with a broken shock?

if the belt is loose or wet it will squeel when you run the car. if the squeel is only at start up it is probably a wet belt. if it is constant, then it is probably a loose belt. gun the engine and see if the squeeling changes any. Also, inspect your belt and see if it is worn or cracked. If so, then go to autozone and ask them if they can put it on for you if you buy one. If they say yes, then don't buy the cheap one. It is only fair.

If its a later model car a lot of lube or oil change places like Jiffy Lube can change the belt for you. Or a mechanic like she said. If it shreds and/or breaks, you could find your self stranded.
