Sacha, The AC pully or drive belt doesn't get lubricated. It's a dry system. Just like brake shoes, if i'm understanding you right. What your resonating sound is, your feeling the Fans coming on, and since they are not mounted in rubber, the vibration comes thru the body of the car. Make sure the blades are on tight after you turn off the power and dis connect the battery. As far as the slow down, if the compressor isn't defective, there will be a little slow down when the compressor kicks in and normally the car will compensate for it shortly. Do you hear any bearing noise when the comperssor is on. John Hervey http://www.specialtauto.com/
