I had some bad luck on a remanufactured alternator the dealer installed in June 06 - I think the bearing is failing because it's making a whining sound that you can hear in the cabin. Naturally, the warranty ran out after a year. Dealer now wants $562 plus installation for a new Denso one. $260 plus install for a reman'd one whose maker I wouldn't find out until it was installed.
There are some attractive prices on USA websites but I can't seem to find one that will ship to Ontario, Canada. Can anybody recommend one?
Also, any thoughts on buying a new alternator as opposed to a reman'd one?
