It’s essentially a spring that’s wrapped around the lines at the factory to act as an insulator against vibration as well as protect the line from direct contact with the frame and body. The problem is corrosion starts building up between the coils and eventually contributes to line failure rather than preventing it.
It’s not necessary to replace it. When you install a new line, look for places where the line could potentially rub and use short lengths of rubber hose to protect it. Cut a piece of hose lengthwise to wrap it around the line and use zip ties to secure it.
