Your deduction is correct. There should be a small spring. The bushing is
to prevent the wire from shorting to the hub itself, as you probably
guessed. Thinking about it, I ssem to recall it goes, starting from the
hub: spring, plastic bushing, c-clip (sticks out beyond the hub, keeps
the bushing from coming off the end of the wire), wire nipple. Does this
make sense?
