    I have a 1998 Grand Prix GTP and apparently my supercharger is going bad. According to the mechanic, they said the its the bearing on the supercharger that is bad but the engine is good. Any suggestions?

    Does it sound like marbles rolling around? If so, it's your coupler.

    The supercharger is actually pretty easy to service. I have done it a few times. There are quite a few write-ups on how to do it, so dont worry! ZZP and other companies sell the "supercharger rebuild kit" that will come with all the parts you will need to make it run and sound like new. :-) Good Luck!
