Hmm do front springs bend or stretch? I'm guessing I need a new front spring on the passenger side. But would replace springs in a pair.

What would have happen to have the spring bend like that, and notice the tire scrape on the top of the inner fender.

Question:

• Did the spring 'stretch' or bend?
• Is that what would have caused the scrape insider the fender?
• The tires are 195/65R15
