BB's,
I've got a noise coming from my A/C compressor. Believe it to be the clutch bearing which is going out.
The compressor is fairly new, replaced in 2002, and the A/C was fixed last year, so it has not seen a lot of use, maybe a total of 50 to 70k since it was replaced, and only about 6k since the A/C was fixed.
Any ways the question is should I replace the whole clutch or just the bearing? The bearing is about a 1/3 the cost of a clutch.
The second question is finding just the bearing?
I was able to get the following information off of the compressor.
Tama Mfg.,
SAE-J639,
Assembly: 488-25071
Any and all thoughts on this are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
