If the shaft breaks, the valve will not move. I think it might even require removal of the dash. And the valve costs quite a bit to replace because I think the whole housing has to be replaced.

In the last two weeks I am getting a small vibration. This happens in drive stopped with the brake on. It seems to happen when the air compressor kicks on. Is this a sign of a bearing or the whole air compressor unit going. Any other things I need to look at? Replies to this message: bolivar (Oct 26, 2009 5:58 pm)

Don't drive it until it get really worse or it could freeze up, etc. But if you are only feeling a pulse at idle, the compressor might last for quite a while like this.
