The bottom bolts are loose. What a pain to tighten. A long handled box end wrench would be great. The alternator doesn't sound bad but it sure feels like the bearings are bad. It doesn't feel like it's rotating smoothly. I have another one that may be good so I'm just going to swap it and see. >>> Tom Shiels <shiels.t.w@COGECO.CA> 10/12/2003 8:34:33 AM >>> On Sun, 12 Oct 2003 07:59:17 -0500, VWNut Hawk <vwnut@HAWKCOMPUTING.COM> wrote: > Another question, the whole alternator wobbles forward >and back some. >I don't notice anything like that in the other busses. I didn't see >anything different in the brackets. Your alternator should be good and solid. Be sure the two bolts that hold the bracket to the engine are both present and tight. I had the same problem - one bolt had broken and the other was loose. Tom 84 Westy sold 85 Westy 86 8 passenger
