My guess would be the brake pads are wearing due to heavy use and are allowing the wash basket to slip a little in each direction. Sometimes they just need to be greased but I’m sure with the use these machines get they probably need to be replaced. I even grease the new ones ever so slightly upon installation.
Another possibility is that the friction ring underneath the milk stool assembly has worn through the paint and making noise. Both noises can be very annoying but unless the brakes are letting the wash basket index too much it’s really not an issue with the machines operation. | ||

If you overload it with something heavy as hell the agitation gets slower and the tub will fully index….poor thing probably has never ever had service done to it. Love these machines but god these people don’t take any care of them besides me. | ||

Heavily Used SQ TL Washers These washers could probably use new belts and brake pads, but they are working well, the noise is not the motor or transmission.
If they want to have them serviced great but most places don't do anything till they stop working and then some just replace rather than repair.
Too bad they don't get the SQ FL machines, the amount of water and hot water these machines are using is obscene to say nothing about the cost of extra detergent, bleach etc and extra gas for clothing drying.
