Did a quick search and couldn't find much in previous threads, so thought I'd throw this question out there.
During my safety when we transferred the car, the mechanic pointed out a humming noise, which he has since identified as a failing alternator bearing.
Thankfully less than an hour to replace the alternator once he gets it in stock, but my question is whether the failing bearing is the problem or a symptom of a larger problem? If something was out of whack (very technical terminology) would it cause uneven belt wear leading to the bearing failure? In other words, do I need to look deeper than the alternator?
Thanks!
