Tips from my repair: Open the rear access panel and also tip it on its side. You can get at everything, although the space may be awkward or a little more cramped. But, its absolutely possible with all of the tools shown. I also recommend a small weighted rubber mallet to both pound-out as well as pound-in the pins. You cant use it on all of them, but it makes it easier where you can. Be sure you have large enough pliers or can wedge other tools to assist.
Tips- Since most people don't have grease lying around Vaseline should work just as good. Knipex 3891200 was a great tool for removing the bushing pins. I used a pretty big channel locks pliers about 5" to get the bushing pins back in where I couldn't get a stick to hammer them in. 1/2 deep sock was great for removal. Also, people said the new shocks hole was too small so they removed the bushing...but you can see your old shocks had the same bushing I just removed the white plastic bushing and cut where they are meant to break so they would spread and they work just like the factory ones. To my surprise my shocks were still good after 10 years but replaced them anyway because they were starting to rust. I also removed the inner boot spring, big mistake, there was nothing to clean, 383EER4001A Washer Spring Expansion Tool only works well for the outside ring...I ended up having to remove the spring to get the seal back on and a pliers to pull the spring back on ...wasn't easy by myself.
Thank you very much, just followed this step by step and got it all replaced, it’s not anywhere near as difficult as I thought it could be.
Had a look and appears you can access the front shocks from the back or from underneath, and avoid taking off the problematic front boot.
Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge.
Very good video. I used hand sanitizer instead of soap to lubricate the pins before installing. Be careful not to cut yourself on the sheet metal! Wear long sleeve shirt and work gloves.
I did the rear shock replacement from the front which I don’t recommend, but I had access issues. It was a pain, but it can be done. To me the worst part of the job was putting the spring clamp back on the boot. I would recommend watching that part a few times paying attention to detail. He makes it look easy and it might be easier than it was for me if I had watched how he did I It a few times.
Very thorough. Thanks!
A+ video instruction. Thanks so much.
Very helpful, and includes some good tips. I was able to do both of mine through the back panel. Uh-oh, I put the plunger side up instead of down. Will that cause issues? I hate re-work.
Thank you for this video. Repaired my washer quickly and easily!
Very good video sir thanks
Tips from my repair. 1. Use a spring expansion tool to remove and replace the boot clamp. 2. Disconnect the door latch wiring harness from above after removing the top. 3. Drain and then remove the large hose clamp for better access to front left shock. 4. Removal of the top rear shock locking pin required disassembly of the mounting bracket. 5. Consider as others have suggested replacing all three shock absorbers through the rear access panel.
great job
I changed suspension struts and front outer shell . Now the whole bowel tilts down in front . Has new balance weights also . It's like all the weight is in back
What is the part called that the shock absorber attaches to in the rear? I had my drum out and it broke in half...
You’re amazing! I can’t thank you enough for this video!!!!!!! Great job!
The shock absorber size is the same, so it can be use with all the model ? thank you
Hi great video to follow. My LG is lopsided and noisy on rinse and final spin cycles as noticed by looking through the door and seeing an uneven gap around the drum and rubber boot. Also some of the rubber there has worn and stripped away. Is this a symptom of broken shock absorbers? The ones at the back don't look broken.
How would one know which one of the three is bad? Just installed a used LG 8100 and seems to be a little off balance. Have insured unit is level. Happens with any type load as well with tub clean. Diagnostic showed all is well.
