Title: The alternator is rattling. What's wrong?
Post by: Laitch on August 15, 2023, 12:20:18 PM
Why is the alternator rattling loudly at idle or low speed? Maybe its alternator drive cup should look like this one on this alternator,(https://www.motobrick.com/gallery/4/1601-150823114529.jpeg)

but instead, it looks like this

with these inside it.

What do you do? Get a new one of these

and if you're in a hurry, put new these inside it. They'll work well for tens of thousands of miles or more.

If you can wait, put super duper these inside it from tills.de (https://www.tills.de/lima-gummilager-ersetzt-12311464877-verbesserte-ausfuehrung.html)  They'll likely outlast you, especially if you're collecting a pension.  :laughing4-giggles:

The job can be done in a couple of hours with the Brick on its center stand or if you're limber, on its side stand.
