Is the tub centered?

If you move the tub to one side does it center itself or stay to the side?

If the tub does not center itself the counter balance spring may have broke or the hole the the spring goes through in the base may have rusted through.

If the hole is rusted through drill a new hole close to the old hole and reconnect the spring.

Check the glides, brown and white.

Here is a link to the parts of your washer model 110 28802890.
