Hi -

The times my blower motors quit, they just quit with no warning. No grinding sounds or such. Now my 1986 244 has been making noises 10-12 months, so I know it's en route out. When the motor bushings wear, the shaft can drop a small amount and the turbine blades contact the turbine housing. When the turbines are spinning, at least on speed 3 or 4, they seem to stay centered and there is no noise, it's only when I turn off the key with the fan on #3 or #4 and they spin down with no engine or stereo noise to drown out the rubbing noise.

So - I've never had to actually replace a turbine, yet.

Good Luck,

Bob
