    Hi All,

    My 2007 Ford Fiesta alternator is giving trouble. The battery is charging fine and the car is starting but the bearing in the alternator is making some noise. I had it up on the lift and took off the belt and pinpointed that its the alternator.

    My question is: Since its the bearing is it cheaper to get the alternator reconditioned or else buy a brand new alternator?

    Cheers, Will.

    Buy a new one is my advice.

    another option is buying a reconditioned alternator instead of getting you own one reconditioned

    Do the prices work out the same?

    Any idea what a recondition of my alternator would cost?

    How much for a brand new one?

    Cheers
