Vypart suspension rod kit for top-load washers W11130362 — 4 reinforced rods with rubber balls for reduced vibration

Vypart W11130362 is a complete top-load washer suspension rod kit designed to restore tub stability, reduce spin-cycle vibration, and silence banging noises in compatible Maytag, Whirlpool, Kenmore, Amana and Crosley machines.

If your top-load washer rocks, bangs, or triggers imbalance error codes during spin, worn suspension rods are often the cause. This Vypart kit includes four reinforced suspension rods plus matching rubber balls and buffer bushings to replace aging factory parts. The components are made from anti-rust carbon steel, thick damping springs and wear-resistant rubber to deliver longer life than many aftermarket alternatives.

How will this kit stop shaking and loud noises?

Replacing weak or broken suspension rods stabilizes the inner tub and prevents it from colliding with the cabinet during high-speed spins. The upgraded damping springs and full-seat rubber balls absorb shock and keep the tub centered for quieter, steadier operation.

• Includes 4 suspension rods sized for specified top-load models.
• Thickened springs reduce rebound and vibration during spin cycles.
• Soft, wear-resistant rubber ball bushings cushion tub movement.
• Helps resolve imbalance codes such as UL, UB, dL, dU, and LD.

Which washer models and parts does this replace?

This Vypart W11130362 kit is built for selected top-load Whirlpool-family machines and cross-references many OEM part numbers. It replaces the factory suspension rod assembly on the listed WTW and MVW series models but is not compatible with front-load or stacked units.

• Fits models: WTW5000DW0/1/2/3, MVWX655DW0/1/2, MVWC565FW0/1/2, MVWC555DW0/1, WTW5005KW0 and related variants.

• Contact seller with your model number if uncertain about fitment.

Is installation a DIY-friendly repair and what should I watch for?

Yes — installation commonly requires only basic hand tools such as a screwdriver and pliers. Correct seating of the rubber ball heads into the upper and lower slots is critical: partial seating may allow continued noise and imbalance even after new rods are installed.

• Tools needed: screwdriver and pliers; no specialized tools required.
• Ensure rubber ball heads snap fully into both slots without gaps.
• Run a short empty spin cycle (about 3 minutes) to confirm balance after installation.
• Follow the included checklist and contact support for fit help if needed.

What are the kit’s build quality and warranty terms?

The rods are constructed from anti-corrosion carbon steel with reinforced damping springs and durable rubber bushings to extend service life beyond generic replacements. Each kit is vibrationally tested and ships with a one-year warranty against defects, plus responsive after-sales support.

• Durable carbon-steel rods with anti-rust coating.
• Reinforced, thickened damping springs for improved shock control.
• Wear-resistant rubber balls and buffer sleeves included.
• 1-year quality warranty and replacement support from Vypart.

Who is this for? Homeowners with a compatible top-load Maytag, Whirlpool, Kenmore, Amana or Crosley washer who are experiencing excessive vibration, loud tub impacts, or imbalance error codes and prefer a cost-effective DIY repair. It’s also for service technicians seeking a durable, fully matched replacement kit that includes all necessary rods, rubber balls and buffer bushings for a one-time swap.
