Center bolt on left spring was indeed broke. Right and left spring do not match. When replacing left spring, getting out the rear bolt holding the end of the spring was super difficult and also difficult getting back in for new spring. I attached a photo showing the support bracket attached to the frame. At some point, someone had bolted it on and then did a "beautiful" weld job. The other side is riveted with no apparent weld. What they did made lining up the spring hole with the bracket difficult. Another photo shows, maybe, some kind of shim. Is it important to put back on? Also, new springs have 8 leafs and the old has 9. I'm guessing no big difference.
