Q. Why should replacement spring always be fitted in axle pairs?

Although one spring may have broken and requires replacing, the other springs will be fatigued and failure may be imminent. As with shock absorbers, replacing just one spring will result in an unbalanced axle which will manifest itself with uneven braking and handling.
