Vibration with AC on

[Robbie Corbett]

Wondering how normal this is?

Just had AC regassed after having it all apart, works well - nice and cold etc.

However I have a fair vibration at about 2.5k rpm which vanishes when the AC is off, feels like something is out of balance, is this normal for these?

I'd say not, and it's going to be compressor related probably

Hmmmmmmm

Its not terrible but not something I've come across before, I'll do a spanner check before getting to emotional about it.

PS - if this is like any of my other endeavors into repairing car AC by tomorrow all the gas will have leaked out so the compressor will never engage, vibration fixed I guess!

Had a similar problem with an abarth I used to have, steering wheel would violently vibrate with the a/c on, had the compressor rebuilt and pulled the polybush engine mount for standard, it was one of the two!
