    Okay, so I have noticed a sort of grinding noise and vibration when the car is sitting a stop light. At first I suspected power steering fluid was low but that did not fix it. I have noticed it only does it in gear. When it is in park, it will not make the grinding. It goes away when I accelerate. I have been told it might be my supercharger bearings. I am checking on here to see everyone's input and if there is an easy way to tell what it is and fix it. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

    I'm having the same probs too...I know I need a S/C coupler...but that shouldn't be causing the car to vibrate...I think the mounts need to be replaced. I got to get my mechanic to look at it when he does the S/C coupler

    It's not vibrating the car the way it sounds. I can feel the grinding through the car. Vibrating is the wrong word. I think it's something in the engine like the S/C coupler or bearings.
