Screeching noise after spin cycle?

I have a Maytag washer which lately has begun to make a loud screeching noise after each spin cycle. Almost sounds like a car with very bad brakes. What causes this and what is the fix?

Your right, Rob it your brakes on your washer stator and rotor wearing down, this job requires a special tool to remove the 200lb. tensioner spring, so you might want an experienced tech to replace it for you.
