My alternator has been making noise for some time now. IT started with a buzz about 3-4 months ago and then kind of when to a whrrr sound. Sometimes, however, it made no noise at all. USually made noise after a lot of driving. Not is has started making awful noised and so I removed it to check things out.

I thought the source would be the bearings but before I open the thing up, I want to make sure it wouldn't be something else.

IS it possible that the bushings are just bad allowing the alterntor to move. Would this make noise similar to what I described, or should I just go ahead and replace the bearings??>
