Default AC compressor/clutch noise. Video included.

Hello, recently my ac compressor has been cycling quickly so I first added a can of 134a and that fixed the rapid cycling, but now the compressor/clutch is making a grinding/squeaking noise when the clutch engages. Heres a video

Should I expect to put in a new clutch and bearing? Thanks.

If all you did was dump a 14oz can of R143 into it with no more thought than that, then you may have grossly overcharged it.
