Well, there are really only 4 options you have.

# You can buy a new one for over a thousand of dollars, which in my opinion is a waste of money. # Depending on what is wrong, you can just buy the front nose piece. # Depending on what is wrong, you can just replace the coupler in the inside. # Or you can buy a rebuild. This might be the best option since they are several hundred of dollars, however it will come with a lifetime warranty.

2003 xterra with a supercharger and Nissan told me i should replace it what do you think?

I think if it is not leaking oil yet, you should take it apart to see if the coupler is bad. If the coupler is bad, it is just a $34.00 part and only takes around 1 hour to replace it. Now, if your supercharger is bad, the best thing to do is to source out a rebuilt one.


1998 park avenue ultra has loud knocking coming from super charger what could it be?

It might be the supercharger going bad. The supercharger has a little coupler that is located in between the supercharger nose and the main body. This coupler is located inside and once it starts to wear out it will start making a clunk sound. You can replace the coupler, replace the nose, or rebuild the whole supercharger.

Leak on a 2001 grandprix gtp right at the end of the supercharger leaking from the bolt that connects the pulley to the supercharger what is the problem?

That is a major sign that the supercharger is going bad and will need a rebuild. Basically the seal is leaking from the front nose cone. The seal usually leaks when the bearings have gone bad. The two best options will to replace the front nose cone, or get a rebuilt supercharger. Once the oil starts to leak the bearings will have no oil and it will soon fail on you.

If your 1995 buick supercharger goes bad does the engine goes bad too?

Typically, no. Assuming a bearing failure or similar problem with the supercharger, you should just be able to replace it and be done. If however, there was a catastrophic failure of the supercharger, pieces of metal and debris could have been sucked into the engine and may have caused damage. You should be able to determine whether debris is present based on observation of the supercharger once it's removed and by inspecting the intake manifold just underneath.


How to fix a supercharger with rattling in snout of supercharger is there a diagram?

If your supercharger is an Eaton type supercharger and it is making noise that is an early indication that the supercharger might need a rebuild. A lot of times the noise is actually coming from a little coupler that is located in the inside of the supercharger. This coupler has 6 holes in it and over time these rounded holes will wear out and become an oval shape. Once it becomes oval shape the supercharger will start to make a rattle sound. If left untreated the rattle will lead to the bearings going bad and then the seals. You will then need to get a complete rebuilt done on the supercharger. The coupler is easy to replace. You basically have to take the supercharger noise off with the 6 bolts that holds it and then once the two ends pull a part the coupler will be sitting right there. Just slide the coupler off of the pins and replace it. Then slide the two ends together and bolt it back up. You will also need to refill the supercharger with oil.
