Excessive movement of washer drum during spin cycle.
Tools
Adjustable wrench, plyers, and screw drivers.
Repair & Advice
Remove lower front panel of washer then simply rotate mounting brackets counterclockwise to remove. Install lower end of shock first or upper end will be at the wrong angle. Push new shock into metal floor pan and rotate clockwise to seat it. Install upper end of shock into tub in the same manner.

We ordered the parts overnight, excellent service from Parts.com and my husband replaced them within 10 minutes by removing the plate below the drum in the front of the front loader only. Washer runs smoothly and quiet like new :)

Repair & Advice
Did not need to move or unstack appliances, went through lower front panel on washing machine. Managed to reach all four shock absorbers, just be careful there are sharp edges inside there. These are exact factory replacement parts, perfect. I did not want to waste my time on the cheap stuff.
