Tell me more about the fan bracket and bearing replace . Who installed it, did you go with OEM parts?Thought I would update this, this seems to be quite the mystery. Fan bracket and bearing replaced, new power steering pump, new reservoir and upper lines. No fix.
Brought to Toyota to diagnose, they determined it was the alternator making the noise, which was new. They replaced the alternator and the noise was still present. Toyota says the sound is normal, I am not sure what else to do.
That would be awesome.Do or can you check and change stuff, like: Oil, coolant, air filter, etc? If so I may be able to help you diagnose.
If not, take a get second or even third shop(s) opinion. Local INDY shop that work on all makes and models, 90% of them do more harm than good. Take to 100 series specialist or Toyota/Lexus Dealerships.
When Toyota ran with the belt off they said the noise went away.Well I'm not sure, are you sure they changed the fan bracket deep within and not just the fan clutch??
The grinding / scratchy noise heard in the first video are not normal. Really any noise other than your fan roaring shouldn't be heard.
I'd have to point you back to my original steps of troubleshooting belt noise by removing and inspecting each pulley. I can help walk you through it if you need.
So to be clear you can get under the hood and have some tools?That would be awesome.
