The a/c (bearings?) started to grind somethin loud today.
The lines on back of a/c unit are also vibrating.
I noticed, for whatever reason, the wire coming out of distributer caps center, had a vibration to it too.
While none of the spark plug wires coming off the cap had a vibration, there was a grinding noise that seemed to be coming from distributer itself.
So, the a/c was for sure vibrating good and seemed to be making grinding noise. At the same time the cap was making its vibration/grinding noise. Any thoughts??

Definitely check the out soon. My compressor pulley bearing looked up, so even though I turned the A/C off I was still stranded with a broken belt 50 miles from home.

Forgot to mention the a/c has been disco for a while now.. So I'm thinking cause I don't use/want it, can I just get a free spinning pulley and rip out all a/c components??

At this point, I'd be happy just getting this taken care of cheaply. Seems like just the basic replacement pulley would be the way?

My A/C makes a Grinding noise too. No Cold A/C blowing. But thank Goodness, it blows Heat through the defroster. Just do not know how to go about fixing. Should I pull the entire a/c compressor and replace. Or check every level of the a/c system before replacing...
Please suggest anything...Thanks.
