Thats what gets me in trouble, the need to tinker. But getting Marines involved raises the risk considerably....;] Bruce

Check the upper mounting bolt of the AC comp., you will likely find the mounting bracket of the AC comp is cracked or broken altogether. A ham fisted approach to belt replacement and bolt tightening by a shop in NJ taught me that one. Replaced the thing twice before discovering the real issue. Too much rightey tightey by their mechanic.
