The Suspension Spring is an OEM part for LG washing machines, specifically designed to support the tub assembly and maintain its stability during the wash and spin cycles. This spring plays a critical role in absorbing vibrations and reducing the amount of movement transferred to the washing machine's frame, ensuring smooth and quiet operation.  Causes for a Suspension Spring to fail include normal wear and tear from repeated use, overloading the washing machine beyond its capacity, which can stretch or stress the springs, and corrosion from exposure to moisture and laundry detergents.  Symptoms of a bad Suspension Spring include: Increased vibration and noise during the spin cycle. The washing machine "walking" or moving from its original position. Uneven drum movement, leading to inconsistent washing and spinning. This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances.
