Part Description
This Grade A alternator was removed from a 2015 Nissan Altima equipped with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with 112,000 miles. The alternator has been thoroughly inspected by our certified technicians and is currently on the shelf ready to ship.

The alternator is a critical component of your vehicle’s charging system, converting mechanical energy from the engine into electrical energy to power your car’s electrical systems and recharge the battery. Common alternator failures include worn brushes, faulty diodes, or bearing wear that can cause charging issues, dim lights, or complete electrical system failure. Replacing a failing alternator promptly prevents battery drain and potential roadside breakdowns.
