Usually, springs are replaced in pairs (R & L).

Also, if you look at a spring chart, the LF usually has a higher rating than the RF (to compensate for driver weight). If the RF was an original spring and the replacement LF was a repro without the correct rating, the vehicle can have incorrect trim height (considering frame straightness).
