My washer spins like its out of balance no matter how it is loaded is there something that I should know about that is supposed to keep it in balance

Is the drain hose sealed into the pipe stand or is it just hanging there?

Model? A diagram may be at Parts & Accessories | Shop & Find Lawn & Garden, Appliance Parts at Sears PartsDirect | SearsPartsDirect.com (http://www.searspartsdirect.com). If this is a top loading washer, there are some springs at the top of the tub.

Push on the tub from various sides and see if there is noticeable movement in any direction.
