Problem
Spring on the drum/tub broke and came down hard on the damper/ shock absorber, so I changed all 3 shocks since it was apart and machine was 9 years old.
Tools
Socket and pliers.
Repair & Advice
There are 3 damper/shock absorbers, 2 in front, and one in back. They are held on by a nylon pin that has a little tab on it to keep it from coming out. I used a deep well socket over the tab and used pliers to twist and pull the pin out. I don’t remember the exact size socket, but it worked like a charm. I got the idea from YouTube. The most difficult was the front left one because of other things in the way ( Hoses, etc.)

Problem
LG Front Load Washer was shaking so bad it was walking out of place.
Tools
Screw driver and pliers.
Repair & Advice
I replaced the shock absorbers. I thought i only had two. But mine had three. I would recommend taking the front and back panels off to visually check how many your model has.
