SUSPENSION W10780051

I have been told the suspension on my machine has to be replaced. Is part ps11703291 a complete suspension replacement or will i require 4 of them ?? can i replace the springs alone or must i replace the rods as well.

Does this suspension kit contain 4 #16, #17 and #18 as shown on the drawing and is it the correct suspension kit for my model of washer?

I believe that my washer might have issues with the suspension rods but your web site does not point to them (but to to suspension holders). The washer definitely rocks and rolls when the spin cycle is attempted. I believe agitation works fine. I replace the suspension holders with no change. I believe I could change out these rods though there are no instructions on how to "release" them from below. A repairman talked about this being a bearing issue and then too costly to repair. I would not mind a $130+ cost for parts if there were a high probability it works. The other causes listed of "shake and move" such as the drive pulley seem to be very rare with the pulley being defective causing slow spin, no spin, etc. rather than a rocking. The washer reports no error code. I did note that one of the rods was very rusty (near the bleach dispenser). When I push down on the tub it does bounce 2-3 times but no excessively but I don't know what a normal amount of spring it should have!

Does this suspension kit fit my washer? If so should I also purchase the other two items that list below the suspension kit. My problem is the washer will not spin dry in normal cycles and has to be run on the drain and spin cycle after rearranging the wash load.

Our Maytag washer operates through all steps of the cycle properly. However, as soon as the spin cycle begins, it starts howling loudly. As it picks up speed, the howling increases until at top speed it sounds like a jet taking off. I was thinking of replacing the suspension kit, but it doesn't go off balance, just extreme noise.
