I need a picture of this area properly installed, as I obviously didn't take one during disassembly. I didn't think I bent anything, but who knows I can't get things lined up properly, that's a long way for the dryer to move??????.

It's hard to tell by the angle of your pic, but it is obvious to me that I have the brackets reversed, thanks for the help

The arm on the upper bracket I never got the point or realized mine was bent until I saw these pictures (rvzio and sug's upright and dprinter inverted bracket). I'll add that to my things to correct list. (Not to mention how to get it perfectly straight again.)

Thanks
Rick

I don't see the point of it either, maybe to add to it being a PITA to put back together
