Squeaking/Jingle noise around alternator.
It comes and goes. Sometimes there will be no noise whatsoever, other times it's so loud it seems like something is gonna break. It's more of a jingle, kind of like something is rattling. I don't think it's the belt, and the alternator seems to be functioning fine. Any ideas?

Hmm, that is possible too. Thanks for the reply.

I have
had to replace my alternator 2 times in the last 2 years (lifetime warranty). Once because it wasn't working. 2nd time due to bearings going out.
Also replaced tensioner pulley due to squeal (bearings).
Engine is quiet now...
Exhaust is another story.

Considering how cheap the quote is it sounds like it's just the clutch they're replacing. Replacing the compressor would cost about $500+ if they use oem parts considering labor, parts and recharging the system.

Correct, that is what I meant. But I believe I'm going to put the ac delete pulley on. There's really no need for ac with t-tops...

Also, would it be alright to drive the car right now with those bearings going out until I can get it fixed? That is if I replace the compressor with the ac delete pulley. It's not going to cause any further damage to anything other than the ac compressor right?
