Whirlpool WPW10163171 Shock Absorber (Damper), Single OEM Part

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.

First I wisely checked out the Parts Pro video segment purchased my parts from they're awesome parts depot and the rest is know another success story it really is that simple .

Ordered new shocks. Replaced old ones. Now works well.

Replaced it with the shock absr I purchased from you

Discovered the end of the dispenser hose was worn and not sealing tightly causing water to run down and drip off the outer plastic tub. Originally I thought the tub was leaking since I saw it dripping from there. I took the washer apart and was going to try and use JB plastic weld to fix it. But then I saw the dirty water line from the hose to the bottom of the tub and how the worn the end of the hose was. Thank goodness it was only the hose. Also, discovered one of the 4 shock absorber (Dampner) was no longer attached to the drum which explains why the spin cycle was making loud thumping sounds. Replaced the dampner as well.. I've run about 5 loads now and no water leak and spin cycle is much quieter. Whew!
