Alternator Denso or OEM Mazda

Denso is the only reman brand I will use.

I kept driving it and it eventually completely lost voltage. Threw another Denso in there and it’s golden.

Put a Denso rem one from Rock Auto on my 07 and it was great.

Denso alternator for the 1.8L

That’s the OEM alternator without the Honda label on it.

Denso reman from rock auto, youtube the job. Plan for up to 4 hours if you're a first timer.

I recently replaced the alternator on my 99 1MZ Solara (really just a 2 door "sporty" Camry), I went to an alternator/starter rebuild shop and swapped my 24-year old alternator for one they had in stock they'd rebuilt with a Denso core.

Beware of cheap aftermarket junk. I would only get an OEM or denso alternator.

Or since Denso is the OEM, you could get a remanufactured one at [NAPA](https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/DEN2105000) or [RockAuto](https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/denso,2105000,alternator+/+generator,2412), but it looks like they're out of stock. I would not trust the cheaper remanufactured ones that are made by the other brands. Denso is reliable, and I'd trust their reman parts, if you decide to go the reman route.

I just got a Denso remanufactured alternator from RockAuto for a 2009 Camry. Straight out of the box, the pulley was extremely hard to spin. It seems to get very stiff in one spot, get past that spot and spin fairly easily, then after I assume a full revolution it gets extremely stiff again. It also seems a bit loud/odd to me

My 2020 Mazda cx30 has a bad alternator at 47,000 miles. Bought this car about a month and a half ago. Wondering if this is a typical thing for Mazdas alternators to go out fast.
