Alternator question

[319cssb]

After having my alternator rebuilt, should it sqeak like that?

I have the feeling he just replaced the bearing i could see.
Also asked for a new bushing in the bolt ears. He said i can get them from lowes.
where can i get a new bushing from?

No should not sound like that.
Also sounds dry with bearing rumble.
And the rear bearing is not a bushing, i'ts a caged needle bearing.

Thank you for the link.
I was talking about the busing that the bolt to the block goes through. You know, this round pin the back ear of the alternator with the bushing i was talking about, the alternator mount, the front alternator ear with bushing and the bolt.
(passenger side alternator)

Both alternators are the same on OEM vehicles. That bushing in the rear mount is available at an alternator shop. Good Luck. The way the CUCV rattles and Hums you would never hear that squeak at 3K rpm's.

Well seeing as I'm half deaf I don't hear a squeak but I do hear at least one dry bearing! I'd pull it apart and at minimum grease the bearings and no way would I take it back to the so called mechanic!

 

[319cssb]

Like i already suspected he never took the pulley off to service the front of the alternator.

 

[cucvrus]

I don't think there is anything in the front of an alternator to service but the bearing.

Yes, yet this individual managed to replace the dront bearing, without taking taking the front off.

Wow! He should start up a "how to" school!
