Loud spin cycle AFTER bearing and seal kit replaced 3 months ago

I replaced the tub seal kit and bearings in April in my Maytag LAT8506AAE washer due to leaking issues. Figured while it was apart, might as well replace bearings too. The spin cycle seemed louder afterwards - and has increased. Was going to take another look this weekend but last load spun and hits the side of the cabinet and shuts off.

Could this be an 'easy' fix of just replacing the centering springs or did something go wrong with bearing replacement...or another part needs replaced? Thanks in advance!

Check the counter weights.

Here’s a couple of videos that may help you to understand them:

There are no counterweight parts listed for my washer, only centering springs. I appreciate the links to videos, but am not paying to watch videos I'm not sure pertain to my issue.
