A/C Compressor Bearings??

[KingAWD]

Well, I just got my talon back from the dealership after they performed the Transfercase Recall for the second time. The car was running great and I was taking it easy so the transfer case could break in. Then the problem started. When I turned on my car after an all day use of the A/C(had my girlfriend) my car makes a werid noise. Kinda sounds like when you don't have fluid in your power-steering resoviour, only my powersteering is fine and the noise seems to be coming from my a/c compressor side. It is deffiently engine oriented since it starts when the car starts in neutral and gets louder as I accelerate. I want to cut my belt going to the compressor to be sure., but summer is already starting and since my A/C still works, I want to use it as much as I can till I can diagonse the problem. Any advice would be greatly appericated. Thanks

It may just be your A/C tensioner pulley (bearing inside) going out. Remove belt and spin it to see - very common. You can also then spin the A/C compressor pulley too.
