my AC compressor is making a noise (sound like a bad bearing) only when the AC is on. I thinking it is a bad clutch. saw this on ebay but not sure if it would fix the issue.

If it’s the clutch (sounds like it is) then that is what you need. If you haven’t already, it’s a good time to replace the belt and possibly tensioner/idlers as well.

Before heading towards any decision, I would advise you to have an expert consultation. Maybe This can help you in saving money over buying a new one. last week my uncle had his air compressor repaired with the help of the air conditioning company NJ. You can also consult the same or else can go with other professionals too.
