Subaru Alternator

Your Subaru alternator is intended to deliver electricity to your vehicle's systems whenever the engine is running and recharge the battery so it can start your car. It converts the engine's rotation into electrical energy, and it should operate properly for years. However, it's possible for it to fail prematurely, and if it does, you'll need a replacement sooner rather than later. AutoZone carries a wide range of Subaru alternators from popular brands to get you fixed up quickly.

You're doing well if you get seven years or so from an alternator. If the alternator is feeling, you'll notice symptoms such as slow engine cranking, dim headlights and interior lights, a burning smell from under the hood, whining or wearing noises, or a dead battery. If the battery light is illuminated on the dash, it's also a good sign the alternator isn't performing as it should.
