Default Need advice on garage door torsion repair (bearing, roller,drum)

Thanks. She's a single mom, with twin kindergartners to raise alone.

I met her at a restaurant where she works as a waitress, so she doesn't
make all that much, so if I can save her a couple day's pay, it's the
least I can do to help.

I really want to finish this soon though, because I'm worried
about WHY the door was so crooked.

Here's a picture of what I found when I had arrived.

She said it was making noise, and then just stopped.

If anyone is good with garage door forensics, maybe you can help explain
how a bad bearing on the left side (looking from the inside) would cause
this (because I don't understand it yet).
