This washer shock absorber mounting pin secures the suspension damper to the outer tub and base frame, helping stabilize the wash basket and reduce vibration during operation. By maintaining proper alignment of the shock absorber, it helps prevent excessive movement, banging, shaking, and loud thumping noises during high-speed spin cycles. Replacing a worn, damaged, bent, or missing mounting pin can restore the effectiveness of the suspension system and help protect other washer components from unnecessary stress and wear. Installation typically involves removing the retaining clip, disconnecting the existing pin from the shock absorber mounting point, inserting the replacement pin, and securing it with the appropriate retaining hardware. For best results, inspect the shock absorbers, retaining clips, and mounting brackets for signs of wear or damage and replace any faulty components at the same time to ensure smooth, stable washer operation.

All and all not to bad of a repair, but without the video we found

it would have been a guessing game of how to do the repair. Parts all worked well and the washer is now quiet as a mouse in the spin mode. Spending $200.00 instead of a new washer was the goal and it was completed. Here's hoping to more than 4 additional years before another repair is required.
