Howdy all,
      I have some vibration and noise in my engine compartment.  I think I
may have figured it out.  The question:  How much side to side play should
there be in the alternator?  I was fiddlin' around with it and noticed that
there is a tiny bit of play.  I don't even know that it is enough to measure,
but it is there and you can hear it tapping as you move it.

I'm assuming this is a bad thing, but I look to the list to verify this.
Also, will a rebuild fix this, or am I looking at a new one or another
rebuilt one?  Thanks to anyone who answers.
