Hey all, I have a friend with an 01 GTP Supercharged that I'm working on. So far I've replaced the big main motor mount, the power steering pump, the driver side CV shaft, and the supercharger's tensioner idler assembly and ribbed stationary idler.
I'm still hearing a nasty noise though, and after getting all the other noises taken care of, Im pretty sure it's coming from the supercharger's nose cone. I've done the old stethescope on the idler bearings and none of them sound bad (now that I've replaced the two bad ones). I hear what sounds like a shot bearing behind the supercharger pulley. It doesn't sound bad when driving, only when the RPM's drop low like at idle, it will chatter and grind, and sometimes it will drag the RPM down for a moment. I'm sure it's about to grenade if I don't repair it soon!
Is there a replaceable bearing in there, and if so, does anyone have some pictures of how to replace it, or a write up on it?
Thanks in advance for any advice/pics you can give me!
