I had to replace that not long ago. Bearing is not serviceable and have to purchase the AC bracket with it already pressed in.

Well, we need some verification as to the source of the noise.
After that, it's easy to fix.....

Yep.
One question that hasn't been asked, are all fluids topped off? Specifically, power steering pump? Low fluid can cause squeal, it's easy enough to check and remedy. Other than that, do what cruiser has suggested, get a stethoscope and start eliminating components one by one.

She asked a question, I answered. When my distributor was squeaking many people, including 20 year veteran Jeep mechanics failed to diagnose it correctly. Water pump, idler pulley, alternator, fan clutch, a/c clutch, belt and the a/c holder/fan bracket are all new in my Jeep from recommendations of ASE certified Jeep Mechanics. Finally one guy suggested a distributor or flex plate problem. Distributor was the gremlin. Of course, I ended up with a really really good deal on all the new parts on my Jeep and hardly any cost for labor so it worked out as a win for me.
My point is, maybe some people forgot why the forum was created in the first place, to offer help and advice to others and to share success stories, not to mock or ridicule someone with less forum posts or ownership experience.

As in many of these boards, the ones with the most posts think they are the only one's that are right and everybody else isn't. Some people come here trying to get help and some try to offer genuine help without sarcasm or ridicule, but alas...as many of the forums, the "veterans" or "wizards" feel they are so much above all others..
