On the right side when you look at it (driver side) or right side with the car (passenger side). Chances are you are prolly talking about the A/c compressor, clutch is locked up on it then and it's about to grenade. Unless you have air suspension. A picture will help

Just remove it for now. Pull the belt will be fine, just sucks loosing any refrigerant if there is some.

If you want an A/C compressor. I have one. I'll clean it up and take pictures. It still works and everything. I'll let it go for $20 plus shipping. Don't know the miles b/c it's been replaced(has R-134 sticker on it). I'm just taking the a/c system out of my car. Sorry for the Hi-jack.
