Whichever spring loaded anti-backlash nut you (re-)install, make sure that you press both parts together when putting the lead screw in. There's a little spring between the upper and the lower part of the nut which is there to prevent the backlash. This spring needs to be pushed together during the installation, so that there's tension and both parts of that nut system are being pushed away from each other when installed.
Whichever spring loaded anti-backlash nut you (re-)install, make sure that you press both parts together *completely* when putting the lead screw in. There's a little spring between the upper and the lower part of the nut which is there to prevent the backlash. This spring needs to be pushed together *completely* during the installation and the two solid parts need to fit into each other, so that there's tension and both parts of that nut system are being pushed away from each other when installed.

If you installed a regular nut like in the picture shown below instead of an anti-backlash nut, I suggest to use a anti-backlash nut as the ones shown above instead.
