    is this part of alternator supposed to move? video inside

    so I have this belt squeal and can't place it. my alternator moves a bit forward when it squeals. I looked on back as saw this , seems loose.

    filmed off my iPhone jn the depths of hell. so it's the plate that meets up to te block. looks like a bolt is severed. tightened up the top bracket and it is tighter now.
    *inknow this is a crazy nonsensical post.

    No, that should stay put and you're missing a bolt.

            In the first few frames it looks as if the bracket broke at a previous repair joint. Looks to have been repaired with jbweld.
