I'm not familiar with the belt arrangement on the 9-3, but it's probably similar to my 9000. Based on my experience with Bosch alternators, I doubt the bearings are bad, but anything is possible. If there is noise, what is more likely is that one of the other bearings in the area is on it's way out. Last summer the idler wheel bearing on my belt failed after only 40,000 miles - it was a SKF (very good brand) bearing that I had replaced preemptively.
