I repaired IFB washing machine shock absorber with double sided , foam tape. I combined two layers of double sided tape to get required thickness of the foam bush which came out of old shocker , them I cleaned the glue on outer sides with petrol and cut the desired length according to the foam bushing which came out of old shocker , them I put it back securing it with plastic lock and applied small amount of silicon grease on the rod and foam bushing , it is working perfectly. Put same thickness of foam on both shock absorbers and repair both at same time to get same amount of buffer effect .
