I was wondering if anyone knows the typical life expectency of an alternator's brushes? I have almost 60,000 miles on my versa and wondering if this would be a good time to check the brushes wear before they wear out completely and damage my alternator.

My alternator went out at 193k miles. I think you will be fine.

you will probably only replace your alternator once through the vehicle's life. that's my experience.
