Everything looks the same, except that the spring is REALLY stiff.

I can stick a socket in the end and compress it with the bench vice and it will move back far enough to allow to slip on the ball. I just cant move it without some type of assistance.

I would hate to have to use the old weaker spring, that seems counter intuitive, and I only have one.

To answer the question asked above, I do not have the end cap installed at all.
