Shock absorbers reduce drum vibration during the spin cycle of a commercial washing machine, protecting the machine structure, reducing noise and extending the life of the drum and bearings. Worn shock absorbers are a common cause of excessive vibration and banging during the spin cycle.

Excessive vibration or loud banging during the spin cycle, the machine moving across the floor, or visible oil leakage from the shock absorber body all indicate replacement is needed.
