? Your vehicle has both coil and maybe leaf springs will you be thinking of changing them also?
I don't agree. If one torsion spring is broken, I would recommend replacing both of them. Operating a garage door with only one spring will put excess strain on the motor. Some doors will not even open if one spring is broken.
