I actually noticed it late December. I just had my inspection done the third week of January.

I unplugged the ac compressor and now the sound is only a faint chatter. Any ideas?

try spraying some lube on the a/c clutch and see if the noise goes away.

It sounds like the noise is coming from the driver side but it's hard to tell when I can't duplicate the sound unless I'm moving. It seems to get worse the longer the engine is run

Just pulled the power steering pulley and I noticed that the power steering input shaft move up and down slightly. Is this a problem?
