hey all,
its not something that affects the driving or bothers me alot.. but I just want to make sure if this is normal and ok.
When I turn the AC on I get some vibration under the hood. I know that turning the AC does make a normal slight vibration or a bit higher idling, but what I am experiencing is little louder than that.
This started to happen after I got into an accident and when the body shop fixed my front bumper and AC condenser. (I think thats the part that was damaged).
Could this rattling/vibration be caused by the body shop installing the AC condenser wrong? or is this something else with my AC?

Any help is appreciated! thanks.

They probably put too much freon in the system. Take the car to a good a/c shop and have them check pressures.

Seriously, how would that cause vibrations???

I was actually feeling that there is not enough freon in the system. My AC is not ice cold..

If you have too much freon the pump can't circulate it and the pump will rattle. Best thing to do is get your high and low pressures checked. This will Id the problem.
