Default Air Con Noise

Hi there, I have just discovered a new noise on my '94 cherokee, it's coming from the a/c compressor, not the usual squeal etc. A plate directly infront of the pulley seems to move freely, it sticks sometimes and then it moves . when the motor is off you can move it with your hand easily in any direction, it doesn't seem to be attached to any thing. Any ideas?

that is the clutch on the compressor. you should be able to move it when the engine is off. if it's loose or slips when the a/c is on then it needs replaced.

Mine is doing the same, I'm just going to let it go for a while I hardly ever use the a/c, I enjoy having the windows down.
