Hello Ndelilio, there are no springs like that on a drive shaft.
To me they look like valve springs.

Can you be more exact with the place where you found them

Hi mojobaby..,.that spring l found inside of this thing(is it hub or what?) After that spring..they put those bearings and grease....

You have taken the inner part of the drive shaft apart if you leave that sprung out there will be no tension on shaft to take up variations in length over bumps
It will mean the inner joint is free to slide on and out leaking gearbox oil
The older 4 with 334 box has a roll pin to keep inner joint in gearbox
And no tension spring inside
