Default HFC loose metallic core

I bought some used HFC's from a member here. I noticed while cleaning them that the core slides around. It's not much because of the core diameter being larger than the piping. If I had to guess it's about 1/8" of movement at most.

I'm more concerned about the friction caused from the metal to metal sliding and perhaps causing wear, eventually giving it more room to be banged around while driving.
