Looks like you're right - a "Rack preload spring", (Is that like an underwire bra?  ) #45 in this diagram.

I have found that information shared between the owners of the vehicle in question is often more complete and specific than any manual.  Sometimes not but quite often is.

friend of mine, local gn owner that doesn't get on the boards,.. does steering column work for a living.   Its absolutely mind boggling to watch him fix a column, no matter the damage.  He'll grab his tools, sit down in the drivers seat of just about anything, and within a matter of minutes, have the whole steering column hanging down with parts everywhere, and have it back together, fixed in no time. 
pretty cool stuff
