Some WD40 sprayed in there did the job. -Ken V. 1998.5 SE Praire Tan Zetec ATX psycho_bass@hotmail.com Roush springs Roush rear sway bar BAT struts 17" Millie Miglia HT3 and a ton of subtle asthetic mods

The next time, I pulled out the assembly by taking out the screw that holds it to the door-jam. I worked the spring till everything was smooth again.

A little bit of corrosion stops it from working.
