Part Quality Checklist

Take these precautions to verify that parts are functional before purchase:

• Spin the Pulley: Spin the alternator pulley manually—it should rotate silently without shaft play.

• Match Pin Layouts: Count pins inside the socket to ensure exact dashboard harness compatibility.
• Decode Vehicle History: Use our VIN lookup tool to check model specs and ensure parts match.
• Sell Unwanted Cars: If your car is beyond salvage, you can also sell your junk car for cash directly.
