Product review (5 stars): Just what I needed.
This product was fairly easy to install (under 1 hour) and completely repaired my unbalanced, unusable machine. My machine would not start the spin cycle or wash half-size or larger loads without the tub banging uncontrollably against the chassis. I replaced these rods and all is well. By feel or visual inspection I couldn't tell the difference between the old and new rods so I was very skeptical that this would fix the issue, but it did.
