I have this already and doesn’t help. Thank you though. The reason why I say it doesn’t help is because I’m not quite sure what needs to be replaced. It feels like it’s spring related, but not the main compression spring. The springs above the feet seem very worn and I cannot remove the feet as they’re not a simple unscrew type. No YouTube videos on it either.
Edit: I tightened down the nut on the main spring and I think that did it. My outer spring was also coated in a latex material for some reason. Maybe to keep it from getting too hot from motor?

I have a couple of these and it has always been the inner spring that breaks, it's often not obvious until it's dismantled. it's a pain that you have to buy all the rest just for one spring, there's no way that you can use anything else for it either, the outer spring and grommets are all off the shelf stuff locally, but not that fancy inner spring with integral bolts though.

I edited and stated I just needed to tighten it down. A bit noisier now so I’ve gotta let up the tension a bit so it’s not so noisy.
