The basket feels very loose. I can push the center of the basket and then spin it and it seems fine. I read somewhere else it could be the pulley in the back, but everything there it tight. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Anyway to tighten it? I would hate to buy a new washer or spends tons of money on it. Its only 4 years old.

Take a look at the dampers Here is the service manual which will show you how. http://appliancejunk.com/ge/washer/31-9135.pdf Good luck
