Product review (5 stars): If you have had the catastrophic failure at the spider ...
If you have had the catastrophic failure at the spider mount on the back of the tub the front edge of the tub is going to have the most irregular movement and this front half of the outer tub is likely to take serious damage. The piece itself is oem and oem quality. Dismantling and repairing the tub is a big job but it can be done by a person of average mechanical skills. The only other option was throwing the washer away as the repair would have cost more than the washer was worth if we had not done it ourselves.
