Kenmore top load washer shaking like crazy

I have a kenmore washer that is shaking like crazy at the end of the spin cycle. I have checked the springs and they appear to be in good shape. The vertical on was starting to stretch out the hole, so I drilled a new hole and reattached the spring. This made very little difference. I also pulled the horizontal springs and pulled on them. By hand they all required the same force to stretch them. I did not scale test them. Other notes:

1) there is no bearing whir or whine
2) shaking only happens at the end of spin cycle when the water has drained.
3) appears to be worse when there is a larger load in it.

Below is a video of the washer shaking. (turn down your speakers, it's loud.)



Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
