What problem are you having? I don't know a lot about the springs but it seems unlikely that they would go 'out'.

Default front spring

The spring is 8 or 9 years old and it could possible delaminate or may have had factory flaw. You didn't post any info on what it's doing so hard to really answer your question.

What do you mean by "go up"? You need to be a bit clearer with your question if you'd like an accurate answer or comment.
