The AC compressor on my 1994 E320 coupe is making an awful squeaking noise. It makes the noise engaged or not. If I spray the pulley with silicone it's quiet for about a day.
I've just spent over 3K on brakes, wheel bearings, brake lines, rotors, calipers, water pump, power steering pump, new blower motor and blower regulator.TheAC works great now,blows strong and cold evenhere in Florida.
I'm tapped out and just can't buy a new compressor right now.

I could just spray it until it dies.
Performance Products sells just the clutch for about $150 but I'm not sure if this includes the bearings and the clutch on it now works fine.
I've seen bearings for the smog pump for sale but not the AC compressor.
Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Have you checked that the belt is not over tensioned?
You must love that car a lot to spend 3grand on a car that is only worth $4000,so since youv'e bit the bullet this far call autohausaz.com and ask for a quote on the part.
