Is it on the engine or the part that bolts to the engine? The alternator bracket is a large part that bolts to the engine and you can see very little of it .We've spent 2 days trying to find a used one.Same thing 1989 3.0 voyager. Alternator sittng slightly crooked and developed a annoying noise that would go away if you pulled hard on the alternator.No-one wants to take one off because it takes a couple hrs. There are specialty welding shops that weld cast aluminum. Just right now we found a shop that does it . $40.00 and it'll be ready in a couple hrs. If I only did this in the first place . By the way the part is discontinued and was about $160.00 If you haven't taken the part off there is a fair amount of time involved to do it.You need to take it off in order to get it welded.

Remove it from the top. But first remove the bracket that holds it in place. That will give you enough clearance to get it out. I'm a retired ASE Master/L-1 Technician. I still keep current with the latest automotive technology.

There is abolt on the bottom of the alternator that holds the alternator to the engine. There is another bolt and bracket on the top that adjusts the belt tension. There is a ground wire, power wire from the starter and a wire that connects to the dash light. There are also one or two belts depending on the year and model of the car.
How does a car break the alternator bracket. I have a 1995 Chevy Astro Van and it has broken the alternator bracket twice in about a week or 2. I replaced it and it broke again. How does this happen?
do you mean the aluminum bracket holding the alternator broke at the bolt holes? do you know that there should be a steel bracket BEHIND the alternator also? when engine usually replaced, sometimes this steel bracket is not replaced and instead a shorter bolt is used to fasten alternator (3 bolts) to aluminum bracket. there should be a longer bolt which goes from the front of the alternator on the left side, thru the alternator and thru that steel bracket and into part of engine?? this part not clearly understood as explained to me by mechanic husband. he had the same problem and corrected when bracket kit purchased from local Chevy dealer; about $197 in Hawaii. hope this bit helps...
