I think it's just the bearings on the inside going bad after so many miles,
but I'm too poor to buy a new one until it finally dies.

noise changes any.

Better yet, without the car running see if there is any play in the
alternator shaft, Replaceing the bearing isn't so bad, provided you can have
someone press the front bearing on for you...

however could also be tensioner. maybye try squirting some oil in the
bearing.... my JH used to leak alot on that side so the bearing was always
well lubed... :)
