yes it was loudest on that side with the hood open. Thank you so much for your help! I will make sure to get an 08' alternator. Do you think I have a chance in getting toyota to help cover the parts? I mean it is only 3 years old.

Unlikely, since if it is mechanical failure of the bearing, that is typically caused by over-tightening of the belt.
