52719 Whirlpool Basket Tub Bushing

This did the trick.

I was on my last idea for my seven-year-old Maytag Bravos top-loader. (I know, I never should have bought it in the first place, but that was before I knew better, and the set was on a great sale.) Nothing would stop the banging, shaking, and walking. I replaced the suspension rods (with cheap Amazon rods - not the best idea), and I installed the metal basket hub to no avail. I couldn't keep the hub screws tight; they just shook loose, and the play between the basket and the tub would be right back again. Then I installed this orange wonder. The basket and tub are now like one unit again. I also rebuilt my OEM suspension rods with Bounce-B-Gone, just for good measure, and I went back to an OEM hub, but I'm sure it's the bushing that has made the difference. I have now washed a small load of clothes, a medium load of mostly towels, a full load of clothes, and a load of throw blankets, and the machine is smooth, quiet, and stationary.

Helped solve the issue

Replaced the old worn out OEM with this bushing along with new suspension rods and the metal hub assembly and our 8 year old whirlpool runs quieter and smoother than when it was new. It took some time to replace the parts, and the result was worth it!

Just Works!

I don’t know if this was the problem or not. It seemed like it could have been. The machine just was off balanced so I went with this and the metal spline kit and the grease kit. The machine runs like a champ now!
