Your wheels will not track straight and you will probably have terrible life. Get it replaced and an alignment.

i'm with Brian. you probably could drive on it (you already have), but it will eat up your other suspension components the longer you go. get it fixed.

He tells you that it won't matter, yet he can't do an alignment? Sounds a little lame. Get it fixed and get an alignment or you will eat tires.
