I just installed my driver's spring for the handle. It's not just to prevent rattling. It returns the handle, and helps to prevent over-centering of the handle. I realized I also had the "cam" flipped 180 degrees, so it wasn't resting against the stop. It will work much better now!

I had looked at your pics of how you have the return spring installed. I have mine installed as JC shows. Looking at your pics, and wear on my handles and door latch, I think that the JC way is the correct way, but that's just a guess. I'll leave mine installed that way anyways.

Now that I installed the return spring I'm going to get new links so they work more smoothly and the rubber bumpers for the window to hit on at the bottom. Just trying to get everything working properly now. Thanks for the pics, they helped a lot!
