Re: What does this spring do?

The lower brg. should float on the shaft. The spring puts a preload on the brgs. & takes any slack out of the column. The lower brg. is usually froze to the shaft after all these years in a bad inviarnment . You probably need a lower brg. kit as you usually have to cut the sleeve off to get it out.
