The metal is probably from the front bearing. The squeeling is the clutch trying to engage a locked up compressor. Time to replace it.

Agree that the entire compressor needs replaced. I had good luck with a used unit from Ed Morad. About a quarter of the price of a rebuilt one and has lasted me almost 2 years.

Alright thanks for the info so quickly guys. I will start to look for used compressors.

If the noise is coming from the clutch along with the metal shavings, once the clutch wears out the noise should stop and everything should be fine except for a dead compressor... right or wrong?
I also checked to see if the compressor was loose, a sign of a bad bearing, and it is pretty tight little to no movement...
my dads buick had the same noise awhile back and i looked at it and there are metal shavings on that compressor too and the compressor still works...
