    I just had my alternator fail - it got very noisy. Replaced with a new
    unit from Chrysler. Anyone else have this problem? The only thing I
    can think of, other than this was a bad unit, is that the fill for the
    windshield washer tank is directly above the alternator. I'm going to
    use a funnel to fill from now on, and be more careful.

    The bearings are very well sealed. Even if you sloshed washer fluid
    directly onto the alternator, you wouldn't spoil them. I think you just
    had a freak early failure.
