Great teardown. Are the return springs weighted for a soft landing when closing? I’ve had a couple of ZA5s fail where the return spring anchors on the plastic turret (turret failed at its root). I made a quick repair by attaching the spring to the actuator body (hole left by the turret root), which works. However as the actuator now closes, there’s a hydraulic ‘bang’ as the valve slams shut. Is the spring force now too strong, or is there another potential issue? Is it possible to repair the plastic body/turret? Thx
