Could it be suspension rods on my Hotpoint WM31 that's making a knocking?
 
                I have just got hubby to replace the brushes but now when the spin cycle gets going it is making a knocking noise.  Confused, how can I replace the rods...from the front of the machine?  Help!!  What else could make a knocking noise? (Like the drum is banging/something against the side of the machine!)
