Suntour Skewer

My front skewer is a Suntour and on the acorn nut side there is a washer on the nut that is cracking. Is the washer for beauty or does it do anything?

It's on the acorn nut on opposite side from the lever.

If anything looks funky on your QR, replace it. Failure, here, is not an option.
