Today, as I was inspecting for leaks after a radiator replacement, something caught my eye. I noticed that the Alternator pulley had been rubbing against the lower radiator hose at some point and the rubber had become very thin.
Just a friendly note to inspect the lower radiator hose to alternator clearance.
The motor mounts were changed out several years ago and are still good. I can't determine if this is recent or something prior to that. There isn't much clearance now, maybe 3/4 inch.
Of course, I had to discover this after installing fresh coolant.
