This washing machine suspension rod kit includes 4 suspension rods, 4 suspension balls, and 4 bushings to stabilize the washer tub and minimize vibrations during operation. If the washer shakes or vibrates excessively, replacing the suspension rods may resolve the issue. Installation requires safety precautions, such as unplugging the appliance and wearing work gloves.

Suspension rod kit for Kenmore.
Worked as expected, although I reused the plastic holders that secure the hooks of the rods because nothing was wrong with them and stored the new ones. Repair was simple and straight forward.

WASHER ON SPIN CYCLE WOULD SHAKE, MAKE NOISE AND WALK ACROSS FLOOR
FOLLOWED VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS, UNPLUGGED AND REMOVED WATER LINES AND DRAIN, REMOVED HARNESS COVER PLATE. MOUNT SCREWS AND TOP, UNHOOKED SUSPENSION RODS(FOUND THEY HAD LEFT OUT TOP SPRINGS FROM TUB TO SUSPENSION RODS WHEN MANUFACTURED) PUT TOP BACK ON WITH ONE SCREW, PUT ON SIDE, REMOVED AND REPLACED SUSPENSION RODS, HOOKED THEM TO SIDE CABINET, SAT UNIT BACK UP, INSTALLED NEW PLASTIC CUPS AND TOP SPRINGS(HAVE TO ORDER SEPERATE) INSTALLED RODS IN LOCKING CAPS, PUT TOP BACK ON, PUT HARNESS COVER PLATE AND MOUNTING SCREWS IN, HOOKED UP TO WATER, AND DRAIN, LEVELED UNIT, PLUGGED IN AND WASHED CLOTHES, NO PROBLEMS, WORKS GREAT.
Went on u tube saw different video to How disassemble the top to have access to the rod. Changing one by one those rod I was in need of my wife to hold the cover while I was changing the rod.... order for suspension rod kit. Reassemble the top by sliding the cover and to snap. Screw back the panel. And it solve the problem. My wife was really happy so me. It can be done by anybody but first go on the internet to get a idea.

Banging all the time during rinse as if its out of balance
Followed the video, no need to add. Worked perfectly!
Raise top cover, remove tub ring. Remove suspension rods one at a time by pulling the rods upward, remove keepers at top,pulled rods out the bottom by tilting washer. Replaced all four rods and installed load centering springs which hadn't been installed from factory. Took 1/2 hour and works like a new one??
I followed the instructions, however I did not have a spot to hold the bar temporarily, so I drilled a hole in the corner frame to hook them in at the front of the machine. All else was easy and according to the video.
Machine works great now.

When washer would go into spin cycle it would shake violently. This also prevented the spin cycle from completing leaving clothes soaked
Followed videos sent with the repair items. It was very easy and solved my issue. My washer did not have the centering springs to begin with so I was unsure if I even needed them. But after replacing all the suspension rods and adding the pack of centering springs this has solved my issues

The washer runs a complete cycle, but makes a clanging noise during the spin cycle. When you push the tub to the side when it is empty, it moves very easily in all directions. Its like the centering anchors or dampers are disconnected or broken. Do these rods control excessive movement of the tub? Do replacement rods solve the problem or are anchors for the rods also needed.
For model number wtw4800xq0
Hi Lee,
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes these suspension rods keep the tub stable and secure while your clothes are washing. This kit has all the parts you need. It has a set of 4 rods, 4 suspension balls and 4 bushings. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My Amana washer has started shaking, moving, and making a loud noise while it spins. I was told new rods and springs make fix it but i noticed there is also suspension rod supports. Does the suspension rod kit come with all of these (rods, springs, and supports.) or would i need to buy them separately?
For model number NTW4600YQ1
Hello Courtney, thank you for your question. The Suspension Rod Kit PartSelect Number: PS11703290 would come with the supports, rods and springs. They would come assembled and ready to be installed. I hope this helps!

When the washer goes to spin cycle it shake every where making the main vibrate badly.
For model number CAW9244BW0
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like you will have to check your suspension rods and drive block to see if they are still in working order. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Should the tub be very loose
For model number Ntw465oyqo
Hi Elishouzabeth,
Thank you for your question. The tub should be firmly in in place. If it is loose and it is banging, then the shock absorbers may need to be replaced. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Are these rods supposed to be held back with a zip tie? Each four of the rods has a zip tie around it causing each rod to bend in the exact place. It appears as though the rods themselves are straight, not bent. Are the zip ties something put on during shipping that were supposed to be removed but weren't? It looks as though they are intended to maybe be shock absorbers?
Hi David,
Thank you for your question. It actually sounds like they were not removed. The support rods are supposed to be straight and there are usually no zip ties holding them to anything. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

How to remove old suspension rods?
Hello Rick, Thank you for your inquiry. We have found general instructions to give you an idea of the procedure to remove the old rods. Unthread the rear screws securing the main top to the cabinet. Remove the top or lift it up and support it. Lift up on the old suspension rods and rotate the ball supports to detach the support and hook the rear rods onto the support brace. Next remove all of the bushings from the braces. Now lower the main top back down or replace it, as we are now going to have to tip the washer so it rests on its rear panel. You should be now able to slide the old suspension rods out. You need to push on the spring to unhook the rear rods from the brace before you can remove them. Hope this helps!
