There are two ways top loading washers get your clothes clean. Almost all move the drum to move the water through the clothes to get your clothes clean. Advantages cheaper to manufacture, more gentle on clothes, quieter.

Or the agitator moves the clothes though the water. Advantages: quicker (35 minutes per load), cleaner wash, superior suspension (less out of balance loads), arguably longer appliance life.

The Speed Queen TC3 and TC5 models use the agitator drive

Agreed. We had this problem several years ago. They replaced the bent support rods, no more problems...
