Default Suspension spring???

Hi, I have a Mazda 2, Capella 2007.

I noticed the front right wheel was running abit low so I took the wheel off and found that the spring had pop off from the spring holder.

is this a fairly easy fix? Or would it be best to replace the lot?

Well you get the "Prize" from me for having something I have never seen happen on any vehcle before.
I had to keep the picture to show my shop guys on Monday.

Basically, if that happened replace the strut and spring as a unit. It is a straightforward service that is easy enough to do as a DIY. But I would as a service advisor recommend to replace both sides not just that one.

Thanks for coming back to me. Yes I was abit shocked to see the spring had popped off. Pretty sure it happened when I was park half on a curb and half off.

would something like this be the right part?
