Re: Newbie question about whinning sound from front-end

My first guess would be the alternator bearings are on their way out, but it could be any of the pullies. Easiest way to check is to pull the belt off and run the car for a just a minute and see if the noise goes away. If it does then it's somewhere in the pullies, if not its somewhere else. Oh yeah, if you want to fix bad bearings in the alternator you have to get a new one.
