Hey Gang,

My AC compressor on my 06 Hemi is whining pretty loudly. I had a local mechanic check it and he quoted 1100.00 to replace the compressor... I researched it a bit and found a thread on another forum that said the compressor bearings are replaceable. Since my AC is working fine except for the whining noise, I am hoping this is a viable option for me. I am confident attacking small jobs such as alternators, waterpumps etc but I am certainly no A/C man. After the $$ I spent on the OME HD struts and springs and the JBA UCA's I think I will be sleeping on the couch if I come home with an 1100.00 repair bill!! I need to do something soon before it seizes up and takes out the serpentine belt leaving me stranded... I have briefly scanned the posts here but haven't seen anything on the bearings. Any information/direction you guys could provide would be great!
