Under high RPM's that suction hose *could* collapse, especially if it is old and soft. That spring is there to make sure it can't happen. Just pull it out of the old hose and put it into the new one. Be sure the ends of the spring are not touching the inside of the new hose or they could poke through. Bend them if you have to.
