Subject:The case of the cracking Alternator Bracket
From:Larry Chase

Volks,

Was wondering if others have had a similar experience.

In the past 2.5 years (65k+ miles) I have cracked 5 "lower L-Shaped" alternator 

brackets.

Always crack at the weld.

One or two I can understand ... I know they are a weak link .. but five?

I'm wondering if there isn't some sort of abnormal vibration issue.

BTW ..... 2 different engine in this same time frame.
