supercharger rebuild
alright im done searchin for info (hate bein a newb) and now im gonna ask a few questions
anyways i got a slk230 s/c it makes a slight amount of noise off the cone area i think so i think it will need a rebuild
now im a poor guy (well poor compared to some of the high dollar cars on here...) so i was thinkin of rebuilding it myself(unless you guys know some company or someone who can do it for a fair price)
what kind of parts should i look for?
i know its a eaton s/c so i can prob find the oil from a gm dealer...

My Story
Read my Supercharger Adventures story, then get it fixed. It could be the gears, it could be the lubricant level, or it could be the bearings on the back side of the lobes. Bottom line, if you can hear the groan it is bad news. Now, if it is the clutch then you are lucky, but check it soon.

(by the way, that little icon by my name is a picture of the gears in one of my dead superchargers)
