As the title says I got a noisy alternator bearing

it whining like a school girl and car sounds slightly superharged

is the bearing replaceable? Or am I up for a reco alternator and how much roughly $ trade my one in of course

talk to your local toyota dealer they do second hand reco alternators as well as the new stuff ,or go get one from the wreckers off a zze122 they are the same

When was the last time the belt was tightened? Is it genuine? How old is it?

best? Belt? It's got a tentioner? I've never touched the alternator ever, yes genuine

sorry for the typo, i meant belt, has the noise started since then?

nope it's been sweet up until driving home

sun night, started the car and it was almost instant wasn't a slow thing which was weird

Got a long ***** prybar and put my ear to it and the other end to the alternator and it's buzzing

no rush things in the garage but new bearings would be nice, might quote them up tomorrow, hope they arnt hard to do

got it apart, bearings out, ready for new ones, just waiting for them to arrive !!

I reckon u should just change the belt too since u spend the trouble of getting the alt off. (u said the belt was the original one right?)

My car buzzes when i accelerate slowly in 5th n sometimes 6th as well (like a supercharger too :P) does this mean my alt on the way out too?
