spiral torsion spring

spiral torsion spring
Should we replace the torsion springs on our garage door open if they are deformed but not broken?

We just bought a new house and the hosue inspector said the springs should be replaced on the garage door. They have not broken, but they form into a spiral which he says means they are worn and are soon to break. Everywhere I look online however says to just wait for them to break?

is there any value in replacing them now or should I just wait for them to break?

Thanks!

mike is right. the spring is just stretched out a little it will not hurt it.
