This suspension rod kit is a genuine OEM replacement kit that is compatible with various models of washing machine. The kit is responsible for supporting the inner tub of the washing machine and absorbing any excessive vibrations and movement caused during the washing and spinning cycles. This helps to protect the tub and interior of the washer from damage. If the suspension rods in your washer are faulty, you will likely notice loud banging, knocking, or scraping sounds as the tub makes contact with the washer cabinet. Each kit includes four suspension rods and springs as well as the suspension ball cups. It is advised you replace all suspension rods at the same time, as they tend to wear at similar rates.

Easy fix, works like new
My washer was walking itself across the room during the spin cycle. These were easy enough to swap out. They fit perfectly and my washer works like new now

Parts were good but not the problem
Took a gamble on whether or not this would fix the violent bouncing around this washer would do. Didn’t change a thing. Looked at all the other suggestions and couldn’t see anything wrong. The tub is simply out of balance and it’s not available. Kicked it to the curb for scrap. Talked to an appliance guy who said there is no fix that he has heard of yet for these type of washers. Bought a different one ??

Great part - easy to install
My washing machine was shaking so bad it was trying to walk out the front door. I made the mistake of googling dishwasher repair, some guy came to the house and charged me $275 to do something. I don't know what, it was a bunch of gobbly gook words and it stopped it momentarily. 3 hrs later back to the same issue. When I called the guy he says he can get the some parts to fix it but it would be another $300.00. I looked up some of the causes and the most likely was the suspension. I watched the video on this site and it looked easy. The parts arrived a couple/few days later (I paid half of what the other guy wanted to charge) and I set out to make the repair. It wasn't quite as easy as it looked but I figured it out. (they are very stiff, I recommend using a strong cord/string/wire/zip tie loop to pull them through the hole). Instantly fixed and been great since.

Easy to replace but wasn’t the part we needed
It turned out to be the wrong part! My husband watched some videos on your website and figured out it was the hub. The videos are vary helpful and doesn’t take long for delivery.

Vibrating washer on spin cycle
The parts I received were the same as the parts I removed, the kit had all of the necessary parts to replace the suspension rods and all associated bushings, The instruction video was very helpful. I also replaced the drum drive hub at the same time and the washer is operating like new again.

Washer wobble during spin cycle.
Watched a video to get a general idea. Moved washer to garage. Raised lid, supported with s-hook and light chain. Front springs were easy, except no hole for the rod to hang in so used chain and small screwdriver through mounting hole. Back springs were not as easy. Finally removed the back panel to get to the rods. Bingo, much easier and only took 5 min to remove the back panel. reassemble and she works like a charm. Suggest to find a video reflecting your particular brand and model as all are similar but uniquely different. Easy project though.

Replacing shock absorbers on Maytag washer
Used video provided,but while reinstalling shocks pull the shock absorbers thru holes in washer deck using a stiff wire or a metal coat hanger will also work. This made installation so much easier!

Washer was bouncing everywhere
Unscrewed the screws. Lifted the top and supported it. Took back off washer also. Had someone help "recommend ". Was fairly easy to remove old and replace the new suspension. Old springs were wore out. New ones work perfect.
I couldn't have done the job without the video or a helper. Replacing the first rod was a struggle but once we figured it out, the rest were easy.

My Whirlpool washer shakes violently while spinning. Could the suspension rods need replacing if none are broken?
For model number WTW5000DW2
Hello Timothy, Thank you for your inquiry. There may be other damage to them, so we would recommend replacing them. We would also recommend checking the tub wear pads, the drive hub and the drive pulley. Also make sure that the leveling legs are evenly balanced and that the washer load is balanced and not overloaded. Hope this helps.
The washing machine still hits the sides of machine even after I replaced the suspension rods on my Whirlpool washer. Any suggestions what the problem might be? Thanks
Hi Stanley,
Thank you for contacting us regarding this situation. If the tub in your washer is still hitting the sides of the washer, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the suspension rod supports, the drive pulley and the belt. I hope this helps.

The drum in the washer seems loose. It can be rocked from side to side and makes the washer squeak when in use. This just happened very suddenly. Guessing the problem is with something dealing with suspension?
For model number WTW5000DW1
Hello Toni, Thank you for the question. It is most likely a broken Suspension Rod, PartSelect Number PS12347546. I suggest checking the rods for damage. Hope this helps!
