Ok sounds like a plan. I will also try napa as well. The were not open today so I was limited to AZ and Advance... it really shouldn't be that hard of a part to find...

Click to expand...

is it actually the pulley that's failing? I've seen the bearings wear and allow the pulley to wobble, but the pulley itself usually doesn't go bad without some sort of trauma.

I'd pull the entire assembly and press the bearing out for replacement. Most auto stares can cross the numbers from the old one if it comes out still legible.

Mine's been wobbling since the engine swap.

The searching I did here suggested that the bearings were essentially non-replaceable, that you had to replace the entire mount and AC bracket assembly, and that they were getting harder and harder to find.

Maybe that was just on earlier years?

The bearing is not easily serviced but can be done if you have time and tools for it. The junkyards are full of the bracket, usually about $30 around here

I'm assuming its the bearings since the pulley is wobbling and past 3k rpms it makes a horrible metal on metal screech that's audible over my sound system....
