honda crv air compressor damage and self diagnosis Sign In

I just ran over a snamm thin stump on the left front of my 2005 honda crv. The car sounds ok when running and doesn't seem to be leaking, but it makes a knocking sound when I turn on the ac. From what I read it sounds like this is ac compressor damage, and the car should run ok with the ac off, as long as the bearing is not damaged. Can anyone verify this? And also explain where the bearing is located and how I can check for damage myself. Im currently not near an autoshop and would have to drive the car to get it in, and don't want to accidentally cause more damage to my car.

That's an accident so the idea may not apply to this but try it. Look at it while running see if the hub is bent totally or what the deal is.
Reason that trick works for clutches is when "OFF?DISENGAGED" the clutch is just a pulley & when working that isn't so relevant the "SHAFT" of inside a compressor is the bearing working the other is relative to belt over it still. Follow me?
Try it and look for alignment of belt on whole unit IDK may be crooked from impact AYOR to use it at all it was an accident no standard suggestions without being there are going to make the call for you. If quiet when disabled and belt true is better anyway so far,

Don't expect us to verify it. You need to look for the damage yourself and see what got damaged.

It could be the cooling fan and not the compressor that is making the noise.
