Hello Karen Kaessler,
Good you should notice... REAL mechanics
(which you have already surpassed) use
Stethoscopes
or listening rods to locate the PRECISE failing BEARING.
The most common
BEARING failures are ...
-
Idler pulley (belt tensioner... pretty reasonable
$)
-
Alternator (more $$)
-
Water Pump... ($$$)
or
- Air Conditioning Clutch bearing:
(not bad if your Mechanic is
honest (EZ job)).
ELSE...
If the "GRINDING" is engine internal...
(pretty nasty expensive = $$$$)
Hope this helps...
