Which A/C pulley chirps? My car has developed a chirp when I turn on the A/C. It's not the belt because I've already replaced that. I'm pretty sure it's a pulley that needs to be replaced, but I'm not sure which one. Which A/C related pulley is the usual culprit of this chirping? Pics of the pulley in question would be helpful.

If it is indeed the pulley your bearings could be drie. My 98 would chirp constantly and I ended up repacking all of my pulley bearing. It took less than an hour to do and made a huge difference.
