The major trouble would come from the lack of a damper allowing the suspension
to bottom out hard against the bump stop.  This puts a lot more load on the
end of the stub axle and wheel bearing than there should be.  For a few days
of careful driving this should not be a problem, so I wouldn't worry about it.
But do be aware that repeated bottoming of the suspension can break the end
of the stub axle, which would cost more than $15 to fix.
