Shipping Bolt with Spacer

Front-loading washing machines use a suspension system to support the tub during the wash cycle. This suspension system is only designed to handle a certain amount of movement, so when you are transporting or moving the machine you will need shipping bolts to hold the tub in place. Using shipping bolts will help you limit any potential damage that can be done to the suspension system during transport. This shipping bolt is comprised of three pieces, the bolt, the washer and the sleeve. You will need four of these bolts to hold the tub of your front load washer in place for moving.
