sprung spring?
Can anyone tell me what it means when a leaf spring has been sprung? and does it affect the integrity of the spring? something to do with the leaf being overtorqued/overloaded?

Sounds like a bent spring to me, usually they end up shaped like an "S" because if you run blocks it likes to twist on the springs causing them to become mis-shapin and wear out, or they have been bent from being hit on something or flexed too far.

I always thought of fatigued springs as being sprung, loosing lift height or sagging. Or like a coil spring being pulled straight.
