Oh agree with that... and what bcredliner said above. I was not suggesting they R&R the new one for free, nor that they were responsible for warranting the part the first time.

What I was saying is that the shop should have said, "Hey, the alternator you brought us, has a bad bearing. Do you want us to order one of ours at $X.XX, or wait for a replacement from your supplier?" It would have taken almost zero time to diagnose the new alternator as having a bad/noisy bearing.
