That has saved me having to think.
The bearing is usually returned by a large diameter spring, retained at the front by a kind of circlip in a groove.
I have a box with the groove partially missing.
You have what seems to be a solution to the problem, and if it has worked ok for a while I will probably copy it.
So: if it is working ok, leave it. If the groove is still there, and you have the big spring, then it is easily put back to original if you wish.
