Y-axis noise

The printer (Mk3S) started making noise in the Y-axis, mostly negative Y moves, a kind of chattering sound (I must be a car mechanic?  LOL)
I can't see anything rubbing, belt tension seems fine.  Any suggestions what to look for?  I had just replaced the thermistor when the noise started

RE: Y-axis noise

I recently had to replace the Y Axis Bearing after about three years of regular use on my original MK3.  It was making what I would call a scraping noise.  When I removed the bearing, the ball bearings fell right out.

That's as good an explanation as any!  I'll give it a try, thanks!
