Back story: Broke a piston skirt in my '97 and had a shop swap in a motor from a '96.
Just got it back and noticed a crazy amount of rattling when driving. Took a look under the Jeep and noticed the alternator is not bolted in all the way(?) and sitting right on the framerail. I was told it was this way on the old motor as well (though not hitting the frame). Appears it may be a larger alternator than stock, but I'm not sure.
I've done some research and haven't found any pictures of a similar problem when using a larger alternator in a stock mount. Anyone familiar this problem and seen similar issues as mine:
