The spring rail in the bass section bows toward the damper wires, causing a 
heavy touch and springs popping out of their grooves.
 
 Is there a solution?

As I am visualizing this, it would appear that that distance between the 
action brackets is less than the distance between the two holes in the rail. 
Unscrew the rail, and make a slot where the screw hole is. This would allow 
you to unbend the rail. 

Hope that helps.
