I was thinking along the lines of the balance ring cracked and lost its fluid....if you spin the tub by hand, is the sloshing noise there?
theres only two struts at the bottom and two springs at the top keeping that unit steady, don't forget the cement counter weight, and the balance ring all work together to keep that running smooth..... never had an issue with my Neptunes.....they will do a bit of bouncing when starting up the spin, and again when it coast down, but nothing that would make it walk.... but did have it happen to a Whirlpool directdrive TL....with an empty tub it would flutter out of balance, and then straighten out, and do it again, over and over....in that case, I just removed the balance ring, although it was still filled... | ||

Does the entire front around the door and door lock need to be taken off? | ||

 Yes. You have to unscrew the hinges and the bumpers on the other side of the door opening which will allow you to take the entire front off. You may also have to unscrew the brackets that hold the top on too. The front of the drum is held on with clips. Be careful when you unpry them, as they can suddenly pop off and be lost in a far away place. Could it be that the bearing is so worn that it is vibrating? | ||

first....
remove two screws on the door hinges..... and remove two on the other side......then the door will lift off.... then the front panel will pull forward, and remove..... remove 4 screws on the dispenser lid....set aside now back to the front, there are two screws holding the top down....remove them and lift the top.... you can set the door back in place if you want to run a test with the unit open.... no need to mess with the front shroud/bulkhead/lock assembly unless you want to remove the tub cover for bearing repairs and such....2 screws hold the door lock....and there should be about 6 to 8 screws to remove, and a number of clips that need to be removed for removal of the bulkhead and shroud.... | ||
