A picture would be good if your able to get one of the damage? IMHO it sounds like the drum is flexing and the area where the spider is bolted is usually under the paddles so unless they are loose you won't see anything ?
Show us what's happening and someone may know what you can do about it !! Austin |

I'm assuming the aluminium alloy drum-spider is fractured. Does the drum revolve smoothly, or is it off-centre/wobbly/eccentric motion? |

that sure looks like corrosion on the backside is starting to break through-perhaps lint and gunk has built up between the corrosion and the aluminum spider-causing a galvanic effect. |

Morning Paul , wow it does look as Brendan said above some galvanic corrosion going on , which although your Bosch is nearly 25 yrs old ? have never seen happen like that in a Bosch etc weakening and breaking through the stainless steel drum. .
Its probably the spider thats causing the problems only way through that is a replacement spider , drum and bearings while your at it for good measure. Why not drop Chris (The Laundry Centre ) a message see if hes come across any scrapper machines / parts etc or scrapper machines if your wanting to keep it . Is this your daily driver ? Cheers, Mike
