washer leaning back, springs are intact, quiet when emtpy
At first I though the rear balance spring was broken due to loud banging sound during the spin cycle. The spring is intact and the three other springs look evenly loaded (none stretched out more than the other). This lead to watching it spin when empty - The drum is leaning back (enough that the rear part of the ring is behind the lip and leans further back when spinning. It has roughly a 1 inch shimmy as it spins. When empty it runs very smoothly, no issues, no banging and whisper quiet but you can see the lean and shimmy. It started all of a sudden. I can see why it would be banging when loaded due to the issues above and maybe a little further leaning. Why is it leaning back? Did a snubber pad in the back break and fall out or something? I have the shroud off what do I look for?
Это хороший вопрос?

It's the drum that is leaning back, not the entire washer

Upon closer inspection the shimmy is more like half an inch. The triangle base does not look like it has any cracks, no broken plastic pieces that look like snubber pad underneath, and lifting the rear for any auto level does not seem to be changing anything, but how far would I need to lean it forward? I'd say it was tilted to 45 degree angle forward. If it has it I don't think that would adjust the motor/bowl tilt though because the base/housing is level. when I tilt the bowl forward it seems very smooth in all directions, no grinding, squeaking, etc sounds are made when tilting. the bowl forward
