A/C Compressor

[Simpson210]

My A/C compressor is starting to squeal. Do I need to completely replace it? and does anyone have one that will fit an 07 wrx wagon.

Thanks guys

Sure it's not the belt or the AC tensioner? Often as the belt gets old and hard, it'll squeal when the compressor engages.

Yeah no it's not the belt, already have had that replaced, it's squealling when the clutch engages in the compressor itself

I will get a picture of it posted tonight, but now getting to thinking about it I am wondering if its the A/C tensioner pully, maybe the bearings in that are shot?

I've got a compressor from an '02 

 

[Meyagi]

the tensioner pully is a common failure item

 

[Simpson210]

Would a compressor from an '02 be compatible for mine?

I think I need to take a trip up north soon I can bring it with me...You free during the week?
