What do I do? How do I fix this?

I was hearing a clunk under my 70 Road Runner so I decided to jack it up and take off my tires to investigate. What I found was this. The front of the drivers side leaf spring had shifted. Every once in a while when I back out of my driveway, or change direction, I would hear some sort of thud under the car. These leaf springs are fairly new. They are a 2 inch drop from stock and I bought them from Magnum Force a few years ago.

Are these junk?

Can they be fixed?

What do I do?

Looks like the front eye bushing is beat. If you cant get the spring to hold a new one then the spring is beat
 
See if the bolt holding your spring pack together has sheered. Looks like the spring are shifted forward. ( Rear end shifted forward?
