No you wont hurt anything, the owners manual in mine says that you are supposed to drive with them locked in for at least 10 miles, every month, so I dont know why it would matter...I always leave mine locked.

Id does cause some wear on the front end, but its not like its going to cause anything to go out. It also lowers your mileage!! But other than that its harmless.
