Product Description

This part is the replacement suspension rod and spring assembly for your washer. The rod is approximately 27 inches long and is sold individually. The suspension rod and spring works something like a shock absorber and prevents the washer tub from shaking too much while the washer is operating. If you notice excessive shaking or vibrating, or if you notice a strange sound while the washer is running, you may need to replace the suspension rod and spring assembly. This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.

Noisy and movement
Removed control panel, front cover, and top cover. Lift the whole tub and motor assembly and put block of wood under to hold it up. Pop old rod out at the bottom by tapping with a hammer hand, and take the old rod seat out of the top frame, then put the new parts in. Do this on all four corners. I found it easier to do the back rods first . Remove the wood bock and seat the lower rods into position. Put the top cover on, control panel, and finally the front cover.
