I'm not sure I understand but..... I think you have the outside door handle "anti-droop" spring installed and the part you found in the door is the spring for the inside door handle control arm or the inside actual door handle.
Two different animals. And there is no telling how long that spring may have been in the bottom of the door... in other words that same spring may have been replaced a few times over the years?
.... maybe I'm making sense, maybe not. I'm tired!!
No, you misunderstood my question.
I want to know where the Inside Door Handle Repair spring goes. It makes no difference if it has ever been replaced...? I found the broken spring on the link that connects the door handle to the door latch mechanism. I don't know if I should have it (since I don't currently), and where to install it if I were to. This is going to be a specific thing that a 41-46 owner should be able to answer, I hope?
