1978 F150 rear leaf spring inserts


Just took apart my 1978 F150 rear leaf springs and there was an insert between the bottom two leafs. I’ve read on other threads that this is supposed to be here. It seems to be in good shape just dirty. I’m wondering if I can reuse it since it doesn’t seem damaged or should I buy new inserts and extras for in between all the leafs?
