I'm trying to do an assembly with lever arm that rotates around a pivot point, and presses against the spring.

Currently I have been using Simulation Object Type (surface-surface contact) on the 3 pairs of surfaces (the shaft area and two end caps). I was curious if there is a better way to model this.

Thanks
