pended for the rod support. The rod support sets
atopthe cabinet andprovides,through4 socketlin-
ers durable ball joints. The rod support gives the
suspension a pivot point for the rod and spring as-
sembly.Adampeningsystem consistingof 4damp-
ening straps mounted to the tub cover, dampens
rotation movement during start up and braking.
The4spring androdassembliesshouldbereplaced
in with the correct part, since the spring compres-
sionis differentforthefront and the back. Thisis to
compensateforthe added weight of the motor.The
