Alright, I believe I need a new a/c clutch bearing but I would like ya'lls opinion. My a/c pulley is "wobbling" a bit when the motor is on and I can hear a distinct noise like a pulley might be bad. If I turn on the a/c the clutch engages and the pulley seems to stabilize. When I shut off the a/c the a/c pulley doesn't make any noise for a short while but it eventually comes back. Has anyone ever run into this issue? If so was it the bearing? It's a lot cheaper to replace the bearing than to replace the whole compressor but my concern with replacing only the bearing is this. This is my second compressor. The first one had a bad bearing and I just found it quicker and cheaper at the time to buy a good used one and swap it out. I don't remember how many miles are on this second one but I'm sure it's close to if not over 100,000 miles. That being said how much more life can I get out of this compressor? Sorry for the long post but thanks for any and all feedback.
