Re: type r / alternator belt
My advice would be is to buy the best bearings you can afford. Cheap bearings will have play in them and you will fail the MOT. I cant remember if it was tapered or roller bearings which where best suited.
Re: type r / alternator belt
Try looking at the alignment of the water pump pulley and alt pulley...it could be a case of worn bushes in your alt braket or the top arm bushes
Re: type r / alternator belt
ive allready got the bearings from gsf. just had them fitted to the hubs. cheers
it does look a bit miss aligned but i cant see how i would sort this out?
and the alt is new by the way. what are the top arm bushes? the bracket the holds the alt in place from water pump to alternator? cheers
