Any helps guys?

Check that the trem is making contact with the guitar evenly at both sides. Any anomaly should be corrected there first. Does not look like a spring problem from the picture angle.

When you screw on unscrew the spring, it will raise (lower) your trem, and by doing that will shift the tuning of your strings, change intonation somewhat, cause unnecessary neck stress if strings are tighten and etc. So proceed carefully.

Not asking you to balk at trying though, its fun and a great learning process~

let's see on the tremolo ... the tremolo stays in its place because of the two post bolts.. and u can play the whammy because of that bolt's role as a pivot point for the tremolo... if one of them move from its place / damaged / the wood where the stud stand is loose .. u cant play ur whammy again right?
now ur problem is... u cant play the whammy at all...

ok..
i think the main problem is your bolt post on the right.. is not in proper position .. looks like it was damaged or crooked, maybe loose from its place ...

maybe... >>>

* have u ever set up ur post stud height?? (the bolt which keep the tremolo on its place) maybe u feel that u wanna get a low action more and u keep screwing the bolt post down...
and unfortunately u didn't notice that the bolt post is in its lowest position .. u keep screwing down .. the wood where the stud housing were planted is begun to loose.
WHY??? because the stud housing have a ribs on its side to retain its position when its planted on the wood .. and preventing it from rotating when u setup the stud bolt's height... and when u keep screwing down , even though its in lowest position.. the stud housing it self will begin to move as u turn the screwdriver.. >>
it would loosen the wood where it stand because of the ribs were forcefully moved/rotated as u rotated the screw ...
got what i mention??

ah dude, the only thing i can do after reading your post is to scratch my head. haha sorry

i suppose the tremolo is the place where you place the whammy bar rite?
ok like mentioned in the first post, it is that part which is slanted.

And thus, i cant pull my whammy bar fully.

so when i open the back plate, it seems that it is rather uneven,

let me show you another angle of the picture



or a rather 'better' illustration, the angle looks like this



and yea, i'm very noob in terms of guitar parts, let alone maintainence

so yea, help is very much appreciated

okay....


well.. please... post clearer pics of your trem from top angle... not the back spring..

remove all your string... loosen the 2 big screws on the spring claw and remove the tremolo...

it'll show only the two bolt stud post on the top...> well the 2 bolt that use to be a pivot post for the tremolo plate (umm.. you know the stud/post bolt that i mention??)
take some photo on top angle.. and maybe on different angles :mrgreen:

i will help u bro!!
