Beaquicy W10780045 Washer Suspsenion Rod Kit - Replacement for Whirlpool Amana Crosley Inglis Kenmore Roper Washing Machine - W10780045 W10537442 Washer Damper Rod Assembly for 4 Pack Set

It was an easy task of changing out the suspension rods after watching a video on YouTube. I ordered the parts according to the type and style matching all the numbers(serial number, model number, etc). The round cups didn’t fit well, so I just used the old ones. The washer works great now, no more banging and sounds like it is going through the wall or floor.

It worksI changed then myself very easy and it works

These are slightly longer than original items. Having ball (inserts) didn't fit my Amana NTW4516FW3 so I reused the existing ones. I did, however, used the provided ball housing to secure the hook. Since the new housing are taller (bigger) it compensates having longer hooks.At the end, this stopped the loud banging noise.

The rod is good quality. At first I ordered the wrong size and the seller easily replaced with the smaller size I needed. If you lift the lid on your Amana washer at the base of the lid is your model/serial number. The rod was perfect, packaged arrived nicely, however, the two plastic fittings that go inside top of washer where the rod hooks, the cup that fits into the washer lid would not go deep enough to latch the cup into place. I resorted to my original plastic parts that were intact and I am fine with that.How I know what was wrong with washer I found a video online that said if you can press down on the agitator and if it bounces like a ball these rods are where to start first (I made sure the machine was level before ordering parts). The replacement was easy. I'm 61 year old female, followed the video instructions, and got the job done. If you can't get in the floor a few times up and down I'd get some help. The washer has to be tilted over alot and then lie in the floor underneath washer. Good hand strength is required to grab hold of the rod inside the washer to lift the tub up to secure the rod hook. To lift washer lid remove the 2 or 3 screws (depends on model) to release the lid from the top base of washer, pull the lid forward from front of washer then lift slightly then push the lid back to release the lid. If the plastic replacements would have worked I would have given 5 stars. I'm giving 4.5 because of the ease in ability to replace my product. If I had not found this video on how to lift the lid, i'm sure I would have taken the back of my washer off with no point of return. Have a blessed day !

Suspension rods were perfect and direct replacement. The ball and socket pieces at the top were ok. The ball part was good, the socket part did not fit but was able to use the existing with the new ball in it so all was well. Quick install. Did notice more vibration than original but that is to be expected
