Sounds like a Bearing/s is/are shot.
Get the Yellow Pages and see if you can locate a local Alternator Electrical Shop that will change out the Bearings or maybe even rebuild that Alternator.
Is there a BOSCH Electrical Shop in the area?
I am suprised they did not have a rebuilt Alternator over the counter that you could buy.
How about National Auto Parts (NAPA)?
Is there one of our members who has a parts Car in the area?
The Bearing on my Alternator went out at about 200K miles. And, when I got it out I found it was a Rebuilt Alternator. So there is no way to say what is a normal life for one.
