Happened to my GF's 9-3. I bypassed the compressor with a short belt so there wouldn't be a catastrophic failure. I also did the bypass so it wouldn't cause damage to the nose that the pulley is mounted on.
I knew the compressor itself was ok because there was no problem with cold-air, but the pulley wobbled intermittently causing a knocking sound. Found a place that could either sell me a new bearing for the pulley (you can press the old bearing out and new one in) for $20 plus shipping, but they had one completely rebuilt pulley with hub for $70 so I went with that.
There is also a place that will rebuild your pulley hub (including machining ) that I found for $75 plus shipping.
New compressors go for $400+, rebuilt can be had for about $160 on ebay.
