Got that dreaded alternator bearing noise on my 1986 300E the other day.
Does anyone know what size bearings the alternator takes (or possibly what
the part numbers are)? Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Michael B.
the front bearing part number is 007 981 89 25. They aint cheap.
on the rear, there's 3 different versions, you'll have to show your engine
number for me to choose the correct variant.
You may be better off just buying an exchange rebuilt alternator with a
warranty.

Thanks TPr!
The engine number is 103983 12 012210. I just may go with a rebuilt
alternator, but wanted to check price and availability of the bearings
first. Your help is appreciated.

Autozone has the cheapeast at $141 for the 70A alternator with lifetime
warranty... must order online.... which is what you have. You can install
the 80A one on your car but no need for it... and you might have core charge
problem if you do.
Another option is to send that alternator to your local alternator
rebuilding shop... probably cost less than $100... but warranty is not
there... 1 year.
Or try this shop... never used them...
