Default Tilt Tele Column question

I'm repairing the steering column on my 72
with the tilt spring contact installed inside the spring its causing the spring to bind
The tilt works fine when I remove the contact and just use the spring alone
Can I just leave the contact out?
Has anyone experienced this problem?
