XPARTCO W11130362 Washer Suspension Rod Kit
XPARTCO W11130362 Washer Suspension Rod Kit
The XPARTCO W11130362 is an aftermarket replacement suspension rod kit for Whirlpool top-load washers. The wash tub inside a top-load washer hangs suspended inside the cabinet, and this set of rods is what supports that tub and absorbs the vibration and movement it generates during unbalanced loads and high-speed spin. Without healthy suspension rods, the tub can bang against the cabinet, shake the whole machine, and produce loud, rhythmic noise that gets worse the more unbalanced a load is.
This kit includes 4 suspension rods, 4 bushings, and 4 suspension balls, plus installation instructions — everything needed to replace the full suspension system in one job. Each steel rod measures approximately 23.3" long, with plastic components at the connection points. Over time, the bushings and balls wear down, and the rods themselves can lose their damping effectiveness, producing a loud banging or rattling noise often described as a "death rattle" during spin. It directly replaces W10594080, W10735786, W10748956, W10780040, W10821710, W10901056, W11027174, W11033491, W11228718, and W11035751.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W11130362 Washer Suspension Rod Kit fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, and Crosley top-load washers with loud banging, rattling, or a "death rattle" noise during spin, excessive tub movement, or a washer that feels unbalanced even after leveling. Complete kit: 4 rods, 4 bushings, 4 suspension balls. Each rod approx. 23" long. Replaces W10594080, W10735786, W10748956, W10780040, W10821710, W10901056, W11027174, W11033491, W11228718, W11035751. Replace all four rods together, even if only one has failed — uneven wear across the set reduces the effectiveness of the whole suspension system.

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer has a loud "death rattle" during spin. Will this kit fix it?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms this kit resolves. Worn suspension rods, bushings, and balls lose their ability to dampen the tub's movement, and the result is often described as exactly this kind of loud, persistent rattling or banging during spin. Replacing the full suspension system typically restores quiet, stable operation.
Do I really need to replace all four rods, or just the one that's broken?
It's strongly recommended to replace all four together, and it's the manufacturer's own installation guidance for this kit. All four rods are typically the same age and under the same stress, so if one has worn out or broken, the others are likely not far behind. Replacing only one risks leaving the tub unevenly supported and having to repeat this repair again soon.
My washer is off-balance even though it's level and the load looks even. Could this be the cause?
Yes, this is a good sign to check the suspension system. If you bounce or push on the tub by hand and feel excessive movement or hear the tub knock against the cabinet even with a properly distributed load, worn suspension rods are a likely cause rather than a leveling or load-balance issue.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the dimensions, materials, and mounting configuration of the original W11130362 suspension rod kit used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, and Crosley top-load washers.
