TOMOON washer suspension rods for Samsung top-load — DC97-16350S 26.18" 4-piece kit, thicker spring steel & nitrile dampers

These TOMOON DC97-16350S suspension rods are a four-piece replacement kit engineered to restore balance, reduce vibration, and quiet top-load Samsung washing machines.

If your Samsung top-load washer rocks, vibrates loudly, or shows imbalance error codes, worn suspension rods are a common cause. The TOMOON DC97-16350S kit includes four 26.18-inch rods made from thicker spring steel with corrosion-resistant coatings and nitrile rubber dampers. Built to fit a wide list of Samsung models, these rods are intended to absorb shock during high-speed spins and extend the working life of the machine's suspension system.

How do these suspension rods reduce washer vibration?

The TOMOON rods act as shock absorbers between the washer tub and the cabinet, damping oscillations that occur during spin cycles. Because these rods are 30% thicker than many standard replacements and include black nitrile rubber dampers, they better resist deformation and cut down on noise and movement.

• Thicker spring steel construction resists bending under load.
• Anti-corrosion coating protects against moisture and rust.
• Nitrile rubber dampers absorb vibration and reduce operational noise.
• High-temperature forging and 304 stainless components improve durability.

Which Samsung models will this DC97-16350S kit fit?

This TOMOON kit is designed for numerous Samsung top-load models and replaces OEM part numbers like DC97-05280W, DC97-16350E, and DC97-16350U. Always measure your existing suspension rods before ordering—the kit rods measure 26.18 inches each, and replacing all four at once is recommended for balanced performance.

• Compatible with many WA and WA50 series Samsung top-load models.
• Replaces multiple OEM part numbers including DC97-16350S family parts.
• Four-piece set for complete suspension restoration.
• Measure existing rod length to confirm fit (26.18 inches supplied).

How difficult is installation and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward and typically takes about 30 minutes for someone comfortable with basic appliance work. No professional service is required for most installations—just disconnect power, remove the cabinet access, unclip the old rods, and secure the new TOMOON rods in place.

• Estimated install time: ~30 minutes for a complete swap.
• Common tools: screwdriver, possibly pliers for clips.
• Clear instructions: remove power first, replace one rod at a time for stability.
• Replacing all four rods restores balanced support across the tub.

What durability and warranty protections come with these rods?

The TOMOON DC97-16350S rods use premium materials—thicker spring steel, anti-corrosion finishes, nitrile dampers, and 304 stainless components forged at high temperatures—to resist wear during heavy use. The manufacturer backs the product with a 15-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship, offering long-term confidence in the replacement parts.

• 30% thicker rod profile than common aftermarket alternatives.
• Anti-corrosion coating and stainless elements for extended life.
• Nitrile rubber dampers reduce noise and wear on mounting points.
• 15-year warranty for defect coverage and peace of mind.

Who is this for: The TOMOON DC97-16350S suspension rod kit is aimed at homeowners and repair technicians who need a reliable, long-lasting replacement for Samsung top-load washers that show balance issues, excessive vibration, or noise. It's especially useful if you prefer a DIY fix to avoid service calls, want a more robust aftermarket rod than thin stock parts, or need to replace all four suspension rods to restore consistent, quiet operation.
