My alternator was getting noisy and I bought an O Rileys and installed and my battery light was on, on first start up. Returned O Rileys for bearings and rebuilt installed new brearings and nice and smooth.
Here are few pics

Notice small wire to hold brushess in to install armature.

Thanks for sharing the pictures!
You may just have a bearing going on the power steering and can replace the bearing and refresh the seals.
Here's my thread with pictures & info.

I am still having issues with the alternator. It is getting very hot after short drive. So not sure what is gong on with it.
I am going to upgrade to 2005-2009 legacy alternator.

Ended up upgrading to 2005 -2009 legacy alternator, didnt like the rebuilt one getting so hot.
This one is 90 amp and is putting out 14v.
