pauloil Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 bearing noise in the motor at 137K , and figured it was alternator, as the charging voltage was 12.1. got one at local parts store, and took it to mechanic today. 33 minutes later he was done! you don't have to take off the larger bracket held in with the 2 14mm bolts to remove the alt. There is youtube video showing this removal, so it easier than this video shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexus Owners Club Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Sounds like a good result Paul. I take it that replacing the alternator resolved the noise? as well as the charging issue which goes without saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauloil Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 yes. it was interesting as the mech. said that he thinks it is the bad reostats in the old alt. is what was making the "bearing noise" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
