Compare distances between a point on the chassis and ground for each side of the car.

Using steering wheel rotate the front of each front wheel fully outward one at a time then look at the suspension to determine if the issue is the lower suspension or upper strut portion.

A strut can have a broken or sagging spring.

Would be best to remove the tire and inspect the suspension completely. If uncertain what to look for compare the passenger side with driver side and not any differences.

If you suspect a sagging spring a Google search will produce hits for sites that sell springs.

Dealer could order part but most likely much more expensive.

If going to Autozone call first to make sure they can obtain the part, they don't seem to list a front spring at their website.

Rockauto.com has a selection of springs at their website.

Default i fixed them

i took off the tire from the driver side,at the first seen you don not notice any thing,but when i checked twice ,i saw the springs cyrcles tired and close together ,i remeber before one month wen i hit the edge of the street by this wheels and its happend flat tire..

i orderd two springs for the driver side and to other side from AUTO ZONE abou 50 bucks each,,and i sent them to the mechanic and he fixed them,,

now i feel good,,i did not chaged the shocks ...only i changed the springs..
