My faucet (the hot water side) wasn't truning all the way off... so, I replace the spring, rubber piece and cartridge and it still is not shutting off completely.

Ahh. We them stems and washers for single things.

You probably have to renew the seat or replace it if possible.

I replaced the stem and the cartridge... what is a seat? (the little black rubber thing that goes over the little spring... I replaced that)

Also, there is no washer

Hello Helpdoit,

You may have dirt inside the hot side of the faucet, lets Shut off the water to the tub, remove the cartridge, turn on the water for a few seconds to flush out the dirt, install the cartrdge and try it see if your problem is fixed, good luck.
