I recently replaced all my belts and water pump. On the first start up after install I heard a small clangy noise, but then it went away after it warmed up. I have now been driving the car around for the last couple weeks and it runs great, no leaks, no heating issues, but the noise is getting louder. I am assuming the water pump has bearings and I think they might be bad. Just to make sure that this is the problem I want to confirm that the water pump does have bearings and that it is very possible that they could be bad. I checked over all my parts for anything lose or anything that might be touching the fan. Everything is in place, and everything runs great. Just that damn "metal rattle noise." Anyone have any ideas, past experiences, or thoughts about this issue? Thanks
