The bearings in the alternator on my car are going out. They squeal sometimes, when the engine is revved. That would be, my <1year-old OEM rebuilt alternator. Which was a replacement for the Advance Auto Parts alternator that stopped putting out electricity. Which was a replacement for the OEM rebuilt alternator installed by a dealership under warranty, which had failing bearings. Which was the replacent for the OEM alternator that came on the car, which stopped putting out electricity at <1 year of car-age.
Just [deleted]. I never knew another car that wanted a fresh alternator every 2-3 years whether it needed one or not. It's better than a new ENGINE every few years, and this engine is pushing 150,000 miles without burning or leaking any appreciable amount of oil, thanks to God and good Korean engineering, but . . . can I get an alternator that lasts as long as a frikken BATTERY?
Oh well. At least I have a spare I can rebuild or use as a core for buying another one, sitting in my garage, pulled from the car I bought for parts when I converted my car from automatic to standard transmission.
