Best Answer

Depends on many things:

How well was part made.

Quality of the design.

Load of electric used and/or driver operating habbits.

Is it factory/aftermarket.

If it is a rebuilt part you may not know if it was properly rebuilt.

Many variables; you can not even assume quality of part if it is domestic, European, or Japanese, everone that is in love with their car says it is the best. Impossible to determine by opinion's.

Have replaced alternator twice on 1999 zx2is this common?

Depending on how long the interval was between alternator changes. Less than a year and I would look for warranty on the alternator. Now there are factors beyond the alternator manufacturers control. A battery that is on it's last legs will take out an alternator really fast. A stereo system with a large Amp(s) will also shorten the life of an alternator drastically. These situations will not be a warranty issue.
