That may have been put there to mask the bushing problem. The spring doesnt belong there. The very bottom of the door is the spring it comes in contact with the inside of the dash when the door is closed.
You see that black material your spring (in your picture) surrounds on the door hinge?
That probably needs to be replaced by a proper bushing that looks similar to the one on the opposite side (shown on first pic).
