The spin starts before water is pumped out so it causes the water to overflow the tub, and once the water is pumped out the spin sounds like its way to fast and very loud. Not like a bearing problem but like a jet out of control!!?

DWoodall, This style washer is designed to spin and drain, simultaneously. You’ll want to check the drain pump
and drain hoses for obstructions,kinks and debris. You’ll also need to check the motor pulley
transmission pulley
and drive belt
for melted spots and shrinkage, causing the belt to not "slip" and ramping the spin basket up to speed prematurely, causing water to centrifuge up and over the tub cover.
As for the noise level, yo gave the perfect description of a worn bearing, your washer has two(2) the tub bearing
is located in the center of the outer tub. and the "spin" bearing
AP4373431 is actually mounted to the lower portion of the transmission, and is bolted to the suspension housing and will require a complete transmission replacement, if noisy. With the front panel removed and the washer in a spin cycle, you should be able to isolate the location of the noise, just be careful of the moving parts.
