I purchased a suspension kit from this site and installed them this evening. The washer still gets a UL code when spin is around 9 minutes left. This happens even if nothing is in the washer. At slow spin it appears balanced but once it goes into a faster spin the washer acts like an unbalanced tire on a car. Since not the suspension kit, what do I need to look at next?

please give us you model #
for further assistance
The washer model in question is WTW6700TW2 SN CW5170460
There are a few reasons why the UL occurs and the tub spins off balanced during high spin.
- The bearings might be going bad.
- The drive shaft might be bent.
both are part of one kit

Watch the videos with the listed part number links to see how to access and see if any of these might be your problem.
A sign of bearing failure is what appears to be grease splatter under the machine. Inside the Rotor and against the under side of the walls.
Also double check that the new suspension rods are the proper strength.
Watch these two videos for details to confirm if the rods are good.
