OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE?

Does any know if the spring that gives tension to the door handle rod can be bought by it self. The spring is attached to the bottom of the door handle. I don't mean the spring that holds the outside part up.
If I knew how to post a picture on the site it would help. :confused: :confused: :banghead: :flag :flag :flag :flag

What is happening is the rod is binding because it's moving. There is no tension on it. :mad
Do the new door handles have that spring? :confused:
One day I went for a ride, stopped at a sotre, shut the door thinking I could open the door from the passenger side, lock got stuck on the passenger side. To about 20 minutes to get the passenger side open. :mad :cuss :cuss

My door was stuck shut for three weeks I had to break in by removing the door panel from the inside with the door shut.Turns out I needed a complete new locking mechanism...Pulled it out replaced it straightened out the rod and it works great
