knocking noise from alternator

Recommended Posts

what the hell is it? seems to be the fan type bit, as you look at the alternator its coming from the left hand top side, but underneath, doesnt appear to catch on anything, and it runs fine at the moment, just seems to knock, generally when just starting and warming up though.

help?

take the drive belt off it and check it for movement on the bearings (up/down, left/right and in/out)... could be a bearing on it's way out... :|

depends what it is... If it's the bearings you may be able to replace them which shouldn't be too expensive, or you may have to replace the whole alternator which will cost a bit more...
