Replaced the bellows for the second time. After first use, noticed a ridge starting to form at the edge of the bellows and the edge of the drum, towards the bottom. Lots of rubber everywhere in the washer. The machine spins great. sounds great. Previous bellows were rubbed till it leaked at the bottom by the drain area.

What are possible causes for this? I am guessing it has something to do with shocks? I bought a new set and replaced the rear shocks but did not replace the front set. Machine is approx 1.5 years old.
