I order springs hoping for an easy fix. The suspension rods appeared ok. Springs did not fix it, Ordered suspension rod kit. This fixed the banging, but I think it has damaged something else. I ordered a drive block just to be safe. The shipping was the same. I really don't think anything is wrong with the block. I am a 62 year old female. I had no trouble replacing the springs or rods.
The block looks like it might be more difficult. Going to run the washer some before I decide to replace the block. The video's tell you exactly how to do everything. The only thing is my sides do not come off the way it says. That's what will make replacing the block more difficult for me.
