Default blown shock

when a front shock blows out, does it sound like you popped the tire?
does it feel as if the brakes arent working well?

I don't know about a f-body but some of the other cars I've had could be described like that with blown shocks. My friends eclipse blew all 4 within 3 hours of the first one and it was really bad, felt like the wheels were barely attached. It would hit bumps so hard that it pushed the bolt on top of the strut tower thru the hood on the front both sides.
