Screeching coming from my Alternator

[XaznKewLguyX 10+ year member]

So 2 days ago I drove to some place which was like 15 miles away and when I slowed down I heard a loud screeching noise coming from my car. I pulled over and popped the hood and it sounded like it was coming from my alternator. I turned off my car went to eat for about an hour. Came out started the car and the noise had went away. I did not bump my music that day but I did bump it pretty hard the day before.

I continued using my car for 2 days and today i started my car and it made the noise again.

Is my alternator taking a shi*t? I'm going to get it tested tomorrow at autozone or something.

Does anyone know how to contact the guy from Iraggi. I've heard good reviews about them and want to get an estimate.

It may be a pulley bearing on the alternator or one of the other pulley bearings

I think that could be from the alternator bearing dragging....as far as I know its an easy fix maybe try WD40 ing the pully (not where the belt contacts it)

No clue where you are talkin about. Hopefully I can figure it out tomorrow when I can look at it.
