Front are easier to replace than rear.
I bought these parts and changed all 4 shocks because my washer was vibrating out the door and making loud noices. That was not the problem.

Replaced the shocks.
This site tells u that there are 4 shocks for this model but there acually is only 3. Also it tells u to remove the entire front cover including the buttons to replace them when acually all u have to do is remove the little 8 inch cover at the bottom

Whirlpool Washer shock absorber
Found this part on another site for half the price shortly after I ordered it. Conveniently, your system does not make it easy to cancel orders. Bottom line your prices are double as the other site! Would never buy from you again.

shocks showing their age
Overall, the install was easy. Just a matter of getting yourself to get it done. The video on the removal / install procedures was most helpful. The front shocks were completed very quickly. The rear shock required all hoses to be disconnected and the back of the washer to be removed. After removing perhaps a dozen screws t

Washer shook and made noise during spin cycle.
Shocks are the #1 recommendation for this problem, but they were not the solution. The problem turned out to be broken weld in the stainless tub. Three of the shocks can be replaced from the front, the one under the motor can only be accessed from the back of the machine, which means it has to be pulled out away from the wall. Taking the

How can you tell which or if all shock absorbers are bad? My washer shakes very bad with every load no matter if small or large loads.
For model number WFW9151YW00
Hi April,
Thank you for your question. There is a sure fire way to tell if the absorbers are bad. When you remove the part, if you are able to very easily (with little effort) pull part the two pieces that make up your shock absorber apart. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

I recently asked the question. How many shocks does this machine require.? ( it had only three installed from factory. ) the answer i received: this machine requires four shocks. new question: are you sure about that.? parts list for this model says (3) shocks. can you please confirm. thank you.
For model number MHWE200XW00
Hello Graham, thank you for your question. Most washers have 4, but if your unit was only equipped with 3 then there would only be 3 on your unit that would be replaced. This part is used on multiple models and some take 3 and some take 4. I hope this helps!

How many shocks are attached to the tub of the washer? Since it probably best to replace all at the same time i want to be sure i am purchasing the correct amount. Thanks.
For model number wfw9151yw00
Hi Cindy, thank you for your question. Most washers have at least three. You may want to take a look inside of your appliance just to double check whether or not you have three or four shock absorbers. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
