Tub Bearing
If the washer is making a loud noise the tub bearing might be worn out, this is a common problem. The bearing can be replaced. On some models the bearing is part of the outer tub and the outer tub will need to be replaced.
Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
If the washer is making a loud noise the tub seal and bearing kit may need to be replaced. This is a common problem. sometimes the tub seal and bearing are part of the outer tub and the outer tub would then need to be replaced.
Rear Drum with Bearing
If the washer is making a loud noise the rear drum with bearing might need to be replace. On this washer the bearing is not sold separately, the entire rear drum will have to be replaced. This is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. However, the problem is going to get worse very quickly and so either the drum and bearing will need to be replaced or the washing machine.
Bearing
If the washer is making a loud noise the bearing might be worn out. As bearings wear out from friction they gradually get worse and worse until they fail. In the meantime they get louder. If the noise primarily happens during the spin cycle the bearing is likely the problem.

All front loading washing machines have two shock absorbers under the drum. These wear out, but fortunately are readily available and easy to replace. I've just had to order a set for mine at around £25 for genuine parts, so not exactly expensive.

My Neptune front loader washer drum turns unevenly in WASH cycle. And bounces when in spin cycle. No noise when spun by hand. Cant find any play in drum.
