Hey, I've had a rattle for a while and it changes every now and then, it usually only rattles after a gear change in high rpm. I had to change the power steering belt recently and afterwards the rattle was different so I played with the alternator belt and its definitely something rattling on either the alternator or compressor, the tighter it is the less rattle but I don't want to damage the bearings, anyone had this problem?
The compressor pulley seems to have minimal play, so I'm guessing its that, is it possible to change just the pulley or does the whole compressor have to come off? |

take the belt off and then spin each of the accessories by hand to see which one is rattling or not spinning smoothly. Sound like you have bad bearings in one of them.
