95 maxima ac compressor making noise after W/p install.
had a guy install my water pump last week and when i got it back i immediately noticed a bearing grind noise and it went away when i turned on the AC. its comming from the compresor.
what could be the problem? it never done this before he did the work. he said something bout my pulleys or bad ac compressor. we put a can of freon in the system cause it was a bit low i never put freeon in this car last 4 years so no leaks. and he said the high pressure side is low pressure maybe bad ac drier?
what could be going wrong? Thanks,

In order to install the water pump, the Alt/AC belt was removed. Quite possibly the new tension set on this belt when reinstalled by the mechanic has brought to light the pending demise of your AC compressor bearing or the belt tensioner pulley bearing. I would do a little investigation to see which one is going bad. The tensioner pulley is a cheap & easy fix. But you're right, the AC bearing not so easy.

how could i see which ones doing it? im pretty sure its the compressor cause it goes away right when i turn the ac ON. and how long will it last till i can fix it? i dont want compressor locking up and belt coming off across town.

its cheaper to just replace the compressor. I drove mine a good 6 months and 8500 or more miles with the noise but i just left ac on always. Good luck,.
