A stalling bearing (too much play causes shaft to rapidly roll along the bearing surface, causing a stall effect) - lube all driven
bearings (especially alternator).

Same reason as above, and same cure.  I'd recommend synthetic grease/moly for the latter, since it is easy enough to get to the
entire bearing.
