Hi,

Well, my interpretation of the noise I hear, just as when I replaced this 10 years ago, is that it is the impeller hitting the casing. I'm not sure worn bearings could give you that much movement.

I'm still in the month long process of getting the old one out of the car, but will inspect it closer when I do.

Thanks
