The machine had been banging on spin and getting worse. The machine is in constant use in our house and ultimately failed when the drive hub became completely worn and the machine would not spin any longer. Hub replacement was pretty simple. I replaced the suspension rods from the top, it is a little tricky to do that way because of space. I removed the front cross brace to give myself some room. Popped the old ones out, and installed the new ones. I then used the hook end of one of the old ones to “hook” the new one, and pull up through the bushing as high as I could, Then placed a vise grip to hold it. I then installed the new top hardware and lowered the rod into the new bushings. $103 or so repair versus the cost of a new washer
