No expert but spring shouldn't snap after only 28,000 miles so I'd just replace one. Fair enough if it was a lot higher mileage for wear and tear reasons.

Aftermarket springs cost peanuts these days so can go quite quick . If its original that's 8 years . They may park half on the pavement every night and do it at speed.
 
Had my offside front spring snap will waiting at the lights at the silver link roundabout years ago , it was like a gunshot going off it was that loud.

Got out and had a look and it left the tyre about 20mm from the wing , turned round and drove it straight to the garage in Bede Ind estate for them to get fixed , surprised the tunnel staff didn’t stop me it looked that odd.

Got both sides done but no geometry check or adjustment.
 
Lads for your safetys sake. Equivalent of only asking the cobbler to only sole and heel one shoe.
