    Fellow Listers:

    I started hearing a rasping, metallic noise from the area around the
    alternator. Suspecting same, the belt was removed, so that each
    component could be rotated freely, to determine the source of the noise.
    The alternator checked out and so did the idlers. When the A/C
    compressor was rotated, it seemed to be binding slightly, although it
    couldn't be rotated fast enough to detect noise.

    It seems to be the compressor clutch may be bad. Is this a common
    problem? If so, I'd like to get a clutch, but NOT from the dealer;
    rather, I'm looking for an aftermarket source, even a used one.

    Any ideas?


    Thanks...
