Yep great video. I just repaired a Simpson eziset. I used a friction/dampner grease on the wire shaft and other bits and it seems to working well so far. ( got this idea from a comments section on a repair video somewhere.) It's the same stuff they use in video game controls. Amazing sticky stuff . It was from NYE lubricants Inc , distributed by VKB- SIM Australia pty ltd. ( yes I'm in OZ ) . It was a synthetic hydrocarbon grease called Nyogel 767A. I have nothing to do with company. and there are probably other suppliers in the U.S. and other places. It came as a small jar in the mail with 5 grams in it. Enough for 4 suspension rods and cost $20-$30 with mail cost. Thanks hope this adds to all the great knowledge.

I had to tighten it a little more than 2 quarters but it was a great way to know if they were too loose. Thanks for the video. I just did this and it's spinning like a charm. If i ever have to tighten them i'm going to use blue loctite.

This is brilliant... I was contemplating how I might involve a gas strut and this is the much simpler solution with same result

Thanks, bud. I plan on trying it.

You're the best !!! Did this repair about a month ago, it's been great ever since !! Thank you friend !👍👍

Update from last week's repair. Now it seems to be functioning pretty flawlessly just did 2 load and no jumping. Go figure, I'm good. Thanks again

Mate have watched many so called solutions but yours best especially having simple adjustment option even if some time involved to get best results?! Great video Cheers

Wow great idea to fix not replace original parts I just ordered this part to see if it helps. Thanks for sharing.

THE TRUTH: Everyone is focused on making the capsule grip the rod tighter to reduce the shaking, This can help, but it is not the solution. The reason these rods work to stop the shaking is that there is a special grease that has been applied to the rod where the capsule moves. This grease has the viscosity of honey. It is thick and it is sticky. The capsule must move through this grease, and when it does, its motion is considerably slowed. This is what prevents the shaking from happening and dampens the oscillations that would otherwise occur. The bottom line is that if the capsule is in good shape, or can be repaired even with a solid substance or solid replacement, applying the grease to the rod in the area it moves through is the long term fix. If replacing the rods, also apply this grease if it is not already present on the new rods. This grease is synthetic damping grease lubricant. It isn't cheap, but you don't need much for 4 rods. I found it sold on Amazon for about $10. You get 2 10 gram tubes. If you are doing lots of repairs, you can buy a 50 gram tube for $26.

Awesome! I'm a sucker for the simplicity of this. I have posted a different solution (I replace the "cup" with some epoxy; it holds the shape well and over a longer area against the rod). But your way also restricts the flow of grease between the rod and the piece of plastic. That's the magic! If the grease has broken down to yellow or brown, replace it (that will matter). This solution is easier to do than mine, though. I will try it on my next "bouncy house" washer! I'd be curious to see what happens if I do 2 rods this way and 2 rods my way in the same washer - which needs another "tweak," first. Seems like a science experiment I need to do on the next one ...

Very good repair. The issue is the black rubber grommet beneath that white cap is intentionally undersized so that it can't slide easy on the shaft and acts like a shock absorber. Like on a car to keep it from bouncing on its springs. But it wears out. An easier fix is to pull up the white cap exposing the black grommet and wrap a copper or steel wire around it and twist the ends until it is tight on the rod again. There's enough room inside that white cap to trim the twisted wire and bent it over against the grommet so the white cap slides over the twisted wire and it looks like new.

Thanks for sharing this repair. I ordered the collars and they're arriving today. I'm excited about fixing these issue for $10. I'll let you know how it goes

I can't imagine the soft plastic under that metal collar won't wear out far more quickly than the harder plastic of the original damper. It'll be interesting to see how many years this fix will hold up.

I shortened the rods by an inch. Works fine now. Need to see how long it lasts of course. Just moved the crimp up on the bottom of the rod.

Thanks for this tip...i will try it as well and keep you posted...

I have 2 Samsung WA5200 machines and I replaced the rods with Chinese rods. They really didn't work and after watching many videos, I found yours. I had to use a 3/8" collar on the rods due to the larger size damper. I also had to replace the stock collar screws with #6x32x3/4 to allow for the girth of the fatter damper. I simply had to remove the back cover of the machines, which gave me access to the 2 rear rods without removing them. You CANNOT pre-install the clamps then rehang the rods because the damper won't fit back into the slotted flange on the tub where it is supposed to go when the clamps are installed. They must be installed with the rods hanging in place. Therein lies the problem. You cannot get access to the 2 front rods to install the clamps, unless you want to completely remove the tub first. So both machines have rather tight clamps on the 2 rear rods and none on the front 2. I have washed several horse blankets (one at a time) in the barn washer as well as other horse stuff about a half dozen times. NO MORE ERROR CODES so far. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us-It helped me solve a potentially costly fix.

i thought this was such a logic repair so i ordered a set of collars as soon as i saw your video only to find out when i opened up my machine that top caps on for the springs in my washer are different, there's no lip to on the caps for the collars to clamp down on so now i guess i'm going to have to figure some other way to dampen the rods, maybe i'll try the safety pin hack temporally.....

Were did you get those Parts. Aka clamps

Where do you get the little black pieces from? Lowe’s?

How do I know what size to order may ask this seems alot better than new rods???

What’s PN of clamps?

gonna order me up some collars and see if it fixes my whirlpool

Problem is that now the rod is sliding up and down on the tightened plastic peace and over time said plastic piece will break due to missing grease (the squishy material inside the plastic piece is greased)... How long does that fix work until it breaks again, this time for good?

Thanks a lot for your sharing.

Hi. It would work with Samsung as well?

I’m having this issue right now but it’s a Samsung Model Top loader would this work as well? Need advice about

I took mine apart. I bought from amazon some brass shim material. (very cheap) I lined the entire hole with brass shim. Then I slid my rubber into what is now a smaller tighter hole.

Thanks for sharing.Going to give this a try

Would these collars work on a GE washer? The blue cap has a 3/8 tapered tip ? But I think the OD of the collar might interfere with the other plastic insert that goes into the bottom frame hole...

Very nice video, would it work for a samsung machine? Thanks

This can work for fisher and paykel washing machine?

Howdy I've got a Samsung WA85F7S6DRA/SA 8.5 kg washing machine. Do you know if collars would work and what size to use? I had an idea to try some hose clamps but where the tightening screw bulges out might cause issues. Doesn't really matter, machine is unusable in its current state.

Do you know if these collars work for model mvwx655dw1? I just ordered a hub and agitator for it because it was shaking and not spinning correctly. The inner to outer barrels had a lot of play. It doesn’t seem like the 6 year old dampers are completely gone yet but I thought about trying this mod at the same time as the other new parts.

Excellent!

It would be great if you could show a machine working after you did the fix.

Will this work on a Maytag , model# MVWC565FW1 ? Thanks for the help !

Hi nice video what's the name of this item? Thanks

Would have been nice if you gave a part # and where/how to purchase. Did I miss something?

I WISH I WOULD HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE RODS

What part is that he is using?

Will a hose clamp work the same?

aku hadir bosqu, woooo mantap

I ran into an issue- my suspension rod doesn’t have a tall neck on that plastic white piece. So, I couldn’t attach the collar ontop.

4 years whirlpool bounces out of room installed new suspension rods and the collar. It bounce more than it did before 😢 4:21

What size are this collards

would this work on a Kenmore 500

Me podrías dar más información y cómo conseguirlo

Will this work on a Maytag MVWB850YWO?

What size do a need for a maytag washer model MVW7232HW0??

wat about adding a little Loktite ??🤔

I tried to do this repair, ordered the kit, unfortunately the rods on my nachine did not have notched collar that you placed the metal collars over

Where do I get the collet to buy and what's the size

Hi Where can I get this part?please

What size are those clamps?

What size collar

He is using a split collar clamp. Probably 1" size.

Thanks for the great information.but what that parts call and where can I buy those.

Good day can I get a link for those washer

This does not fix the shaking side to side, only helps with up and down.

where do u get the collars and what size and part number

What will you do with a drunken sailor, What will you do with a drunken sailor, What will you do with a drunken sailor, early in the morning.

clamp name please ??

What's the idea of wearing gloves while you work? I see a lot of millennials wearing dainty little gloves while they work. I've hardly ever seen older generations (Boomers and X) wear gloves while they work. What's up with that? If you're afraid of getting your little paddies all dirty they make this stuff called Go Jo that'll get your hands clean as a whistle. It's even got lanolin in it to keep millennials hands soft and supple. Try it, you'll like it! BTW I like the attack on the suspension rods with the new hold-its. I would have bought them If'n I saw this vid first. New rods with burn a $100 bill right out of your pocket. Keep up the good work!

just now completed this repair with recalibration and running our first load. so i guess we'll see how it goes. just wanted to say that at first i only bought 1 set of collars and 1/2 way through the repair i accidently striped the threads on 1 collar. it was very easy to do with barely any pressure,, "cheap Chinese steel"😖. had to purchase a 2nd set and wait another day to complete the repair. upon restarting low and behold the 1st collar i tried striped as well, thankfully this time i had 3 more as backup. so the moral of the story is purchase more than what you think you need, you can always return them if they're not needed.🤔

What size collar

Will this work with an LG washer top load? Have you used this method on one?

Does this method work on samsung suspension rods.

Nope

Working like a charm, so far. First time this machine has washed a semi large load of towels,smoothly, in weeks! Do you use Loctite on these at all?

Where can I get them to buy and what are they call.

Hi what is the collar size and how but them please

Just did this repair yesterday and the washer works flawlessly. This is just what I was looking for. Lost a little blood, but that probably would have happened anyway with the janky safety pin thing. Thank you so much.

This fix is genius. The manufacturer should add this to the washer design. I measured the thickness of 2 quarters as 0.130 inch which is slightly thicker than 1/8” = 0.125”. I then used calipers to check the gap width. Also, to ensure that the collar screws do not vibrate out, I added Threadlocking glue (the blue or orange version) where the screws can still be readjusted. Do not use the red version which is permanent.

part number of those clamps

Metal against plastic want work for long, put a small O ring between the metal an O ring

Why not put an small skinny O ring between the foam and rod 🤨

How long do they last? Anyone?

Hi, thanks so much for this video. Very helpful! But I still get the banging even after doing this fix. I didn't check the two quarter width though. Could it be possible that I have over tightened the clamps?

I want to buy caller or champs give me the link

Thanks, I'll have to try this, Ive rebuilt a lot of stuff on my Maytag commercial washer, new transmission, agitator, clutch, clutch actuator. Had I seen this video I would have gotten these clamps, as my machine does shake more than it should. At least its not a Samsung. I really like the old school machines like this. It actually washes the clothes!

Thanks ❤

Where can I get the collars from

I ordered the clamps. The only thing is, mine doesn't have that little yellow plastic cover piece. So it will be resting right on the clamp.

How can I find the collars?

It's been almost a week and several loads of clothes and the washer is running smooth as new. Thanks a lot!

Hi. Does the tub ring have screws in the 3 little holes that connect to the tub ?

Found this video today. Already ordered the clamps. As soon as I fix mine, I'll update here. Thanks!

Where can I get those collars

Those are pretty pricey figured they'd be 2 bucks tops

I like the way he resolved the tub banging - I watched other videos - Guy's using safety pins - Liquid nails - Nonsensical approaches - But by him using the collars - This made good sense to me - And simply tighten the collars over time as necessary . . .

Best repair video for tub banging I've seen - No gimmicks - A repair that makes sense

Most people don't know that Haire company in China,has taken over most brands, like Maytag, I guarantee they are junk.! The worst part is they don't tell you the Chinese now owns them and kept the name. To m that's false advertising and crooked. Look it up..peck

Great video thanks..... Would a small hose clamp work in place of part you used?.. Type used in a scooter fuel system for example?... Thanks

Please help. I change all the suspension rod to a new ones and change to hub but my washer still banging when spins. Run out of idea. Washer is jst 3 yrs old.

How about using a zip tie?

Changed the shocks new ones it still bounces. This machine is junk Maytag has been xd off the list of appliances to buy.

I tried this on my Kenmore and I still have the issue. I might’ve tightened it too much

I hope I have not asked this already, but what about GE rods that have the long point in the cup but no foam.

Do Kenmore rods change out with Maytag

Fantastic idea, the collars worked perfect, i had to tighten and little bit more than the 2 quarters method, i ordered thru ebay, with free shipping. I figure now if it starts to get out of balance just tighten collars and fixed. Thank you for the video, and easy to understand instructions.
