It is most likely your rollers that the back of the drum rests on. If you are going to replace the 2 rollers, you might as well replace the the belt, and the idler pully. For all the parts it probably won't cost you $50.00. If you need me to walk you through the repair, you can reach me at my web site at ApplianceEducator.com Tom
