Whirlpool top loader unknown part.

[apache23]

Does anyone know what this part is and what its for? It's underneath my Whirlpool top load washer and I'll post a pic of where it's located. Little plastic cup-looking thing, with some type of metal pin in it. The pin is like someone just dropped it in there. Not hooked to anything. There are 2 of these things under my washer. Seems like a strange thing to be just kinda there....under my washer...lol. Thanks!

Nothing important. Those plastic cups catch the shipping pins when it is first installed. Looks like one of the cups came detached with the shipping pin.

Both of the cups were attached, with pins in them, but came off when I installed suspension pads. What are the pins for? Thanks for your response!

They hold the suspension in place during shipping. Throw the pins and cups in the garbage.
