Re: 97 regal noisy compressor
No replacement necessary- the armature plate is dragging on the pulley face due to corrosion behind the stops holding the armature plate too close to the pulley face- the iron filings collect on the clutch hub due to magnetic pull and the results of continued dragging and wear- the fix is to pull driver out to .020" gap- It stops scrapping when the a/c is on because both armature plate and pulley are turning together- no scraping when they are magnetically bonded when a/c is turned on.
