So the bearings in the wife's AC compressor clutch are going out!! I can tell because the pulley on the clutch wobbles a bit when the motor is on, not cool. I searched and I can't buy just the AC compressor clutch.....can anyone point me to where I can get just the compressor clutch?? Thanx. |

Sometimes the stealership, sometimes parts stores. Its been my experience though, that clutch bearing fails mostly from excessive heat and strain from a bad compressor. Its been rare that Ive seen one just go bad, as they are pretty solid, when compared to an idler pulley. Would hate to see you spend the money on the clutch kit, only to have it wiped out and replace it all because of a bad compressor. |

replaced the AC compressor, the belt, and the drier and now there is no noise...AC worked good before, but now it's freakin freezing! It was an easy job, luckily my father in law has the gauges, a can of 134a, a scale, and a vacuum pump!! |
