Product review (5 stars): Saved us spending $1000 on a new washer
If you have a Maytag or Whirlpool washer that sounds like it's taking off, these may be for you. I scraped my arms a bit putting them in - my hands and arms are smaller so I had to fit them down into the four corners of the drum while my boyfriend held drum up. We had literally given up on this washer. It was five years old and out of warranty. Maytag had just done $500 worth of work on it for free and two months later, the suspension rods went. Luckily we have a good friend who repairs washers and dryers for a living and he suggested we try replacing these. That was six months ago and the washer is running better than ever. Also, I read the suspension rods had been improved so I am hoping to get another five years out of the washer before I have to put out $1000 for a new one.
