Darrell B Kuna , ID January 28, 2016 I needed to replace my shock absorbers on my washing machine I took the front panel off which exposed the front two shock absorbers. But I could still only replace the front left shock. I could not get access to the one on the right. I then took the back panel off which gave me access to both back shocks and the other front shock. A simple twist and they were done. The longest part of the job was taking the back panel off. 4 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes
