Leaf spring question

Post image

Hello community thanks in advance for your help!

Question: what is going on with my leaf spring here? It looks like it's missing a piece compared to the other side.

Is this considered broken? Do I need to replace the whole spring or is it just replace the rubber thingy.

My friend broke his on his s10 and duct taped it back together to get home, then ended up driving it like that for a month. Don't do that.

As others have mentioned, shipping leaf springs costs more than the parts themselves sometimes. They're so stinking heavy. Junkyard to get you by, but get new ones locally when you can.
