Choice Manufactured Parts dc97-16350ycm Suspension Rod Kit

Product Description

The CHOICE MANUFACTURED PARTS dc97-16350ycm is a suspension rod kit designed to restore proper drum support in top-load washing machines. The kit includes four suspension rods, each fitted with dampers, and measures 26.5 inches in overall length per rod. These rods absorb drum movement during the wash and spin cycles, reducing vibration and preventing the drum from contacting the cabinet. Appliance technicians and service professionals install this kit when worn or broken suspension rods cause excessive machine vibration, noise, or drum imbalance faults.

This suspension rod kit is intended for use in Samsung top-load washing machines that originally used part number DC97-16350Y. The kit serves as a direct OEM-style replacement in residential laundry applications where all four suspension rods are typically replaced as a set to ensure balanced drum support. This is a standard maintenance repair performed on machines exhibiting unbalanced load errors, loud banging during spin, or visible drum sag.
