Check the motor mounts of course, but I would be surprised you'll find any bad... MarcW - Tuesday, 28 February, 2012, at 2:03:02 pm |

Thanks Mark. Local dealer tech thinks it is the alternator bushing. I replaced a failed alternator with a used 996 alternator (has a clutch) a few years back. Dealer says a new alternator is priced over $1500 without install! Can you believe that?
Anyway, the noise is in its infancy. I'll just run it until it gets loud. With that clutch, I don't have to worry about it seizing and taking the belt with it.
Richardson Alternator here in the Dallas area will re-build these alternators for $150 (bearings, diodes, whatever is needed)
In any event he spotted 2 torn CV boots (one each axle) so I'll get the axles serviced, have them install the new tires and I should be good to go.
