Are the pop-in tremolo arms in the newer era tremolos supposed to have a little spring in the cavity for the arm to keep it from rotating too loosely, like the older tremolo models with the screw-in arms?

I have "heard about these springs, but after owning several Strats I have yet to actually see one.

Apparently they fall out easily without a taped cover when the arm is not in place ..... which is probably why they sell the replacements in packages of a dozen, lol

Hi, Haven't heard about a spring, but have heard about a clip that rides in the groove of the new style pop-in arm. You want to make sure you push in the arm real good, so the clip will fall into place.
