camaro zl1 Supercharger Rattle ?
I am looking at buying a new 2013 ZL1 . I have read about this problem and the damage it can cause. I also have read about the fix. My question is from what i read GM was going to fix the problem in later model years . How do know if the ZL1 i am looking to buy was made after they fixed it or not ?

I have a 12 and it doesn't rattle, and I haven't heard of it causing any damage. It only seats itself into the shaft which is normal wear. The replacements can also crack. |

The rattle does not affect performance, correct? I have a late 2013 production, I think 7298, so I hope mine is good.

Maybe a better question is, if it starts rattling will they replace it with the new unit and solid isolator?

Not damaging and does not affect performance.

Everyone who has had it replaced recently had the solid isolstor.
Sent from a large Hammer.
