I saw somewhere before I joined that to get rid of this to use white grease or WD40? Where would you apply it? The chirping is driving me nuts. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
 












I had a issue when the A/C would engage it would chirp.

I just put on a gator back serpentine belt and it seemed to help.

But mine wasnt that loud from the get go.

There is a tsb' out at ford that says to remove the freon in the system and put a new a/c clutch on it and adjust it to the new specs.
