    Im pretty sure it is a the compressor . I dont hear that noise any more as of now. The a/c was cooling fine and my engine is not over heating normal temp on guage and my steering is great.

    I would check that a/c belt tensioner pulley and see if thats still good...if not and the pulley is loose, it would be easy just to retighten it.

    Removing the a/c compressor isn't easy...not alot of space to deal with. If you have access to get the a/c system evacuated properly then I would go that route before you remove the a/c compressor.

    To remove or loosen the a/c belt you are going to have to release tension of the a/c belt tensioner. Once you loosen the belt you should be able to slide it off the compressor pulley. I would replace the a/c belt if you haven't done before and if you do replace the a/c belt you are going to have to remove the alternator/power steering belt off 1st before you can remove the a/c belt.

    If you don't then when you loosen the low and high side lines from the compressor I would walk away from that area and no breathe in the refrigerant till the system empties. Once its empty then you can start removing the a/c compressor which is held on by 4 12mm bolts and its a very tight space to move around in where the brake booster is and the fuel return line and P/S lines, etc etc.

    The compressor is a bit heavy and big and you will have to be creative on getting the compressor out in the very cramped space of the brake booster, brake master cylinder, intake manifold, etc area. It may seem almost impossible...but it will come out, you just need some patience. I have been told that you can remove it from the bottom...BUT you would have to remove the driver side cv axle in order for the compressor to come out from the bottom and I heard that also a tight fit.

    yea they are a bitch to take out. i had mine basically out the other day but couldnt fit it without chancing other things in the bay so its coming out when i do the headswap.

    as for the suspension, where do you live as im sure some members would help you out for less than 400 and then just get and alignment for like 80 bucks

    yea but its too much work for an inexperienced person to do.. if you have any buddies who are good with cars have them help you out to save you a good amount of money.. and check every little thing it could be before paying for an expensive part
