loud on spin and wash cycle, maybe off balance

John, a lot of times when machines are off balance, it can cause a lot of problems inside. On heavy loads and fast final spins they tend to lean to one side or even wear down parts on certain areas taking the brunt of the weight. I’d suggest leveling as close to perfect as possible and even tightening down with nuts to ensure it doesn’t move again. From there, it also sounds like you’ll need a new shock absorber assembly. I’ll add the part information below for purchasing since you’ve got it mostly apart already. Let us know if there’s more we can do from here for you.
