Okay so I have this really annoying vibration that sounds like something is hitting fan blades or something. I pulled the a/c motor out and found a leaf and a pine neddle thinking that was what was causing the noise but no dice. It seems to happen when it is cold and mostly happens when I accelerate or turn, which makes me believe something is moving and making contact with something else.

Anyone ever have this happen, it usually stops after the car is warmed up but when it is happing it is really bad.

Thanks for the response, I have a freind who is a nissan tech so I will see if he knows anything about greasing the bearing and will let you know. He originally suggested taking out the motor so that is where I started.
