Default supercharger coupler rattle etc

So, I'm at 80K miles on my 2015 F-Type V6, and my previously replaced supercharger coupler is rattling again. The car is kinda pissing me off with this stuff, so I just want to try and replace the isolator only - I believe I got the correct one from EATON for my V6, should this solve it once and for all?

Replacement will solve the rattle, but not likely “once and for all”. This is a wear part, it seems.

Ok, So I had my local JLR dealer replace the coupler twice on my 2016 convertible with 44K miles and I"m still hearing the post turn off clunk. Below is a link to the video, wait until the very end. Does this sound like it is still the coupler or would it be from something else?? @dennis black ?

What happens is the coupler starts to wear against the shaft and creates a vibration
then it wears against the shaft intern the bearing gets a beating, so from opening the snout
and finding bad bearings , i found replacing the snout and coupler with a solid ZZP coupler ,not the fake ones
Cleared up the rattler for all the members cars I've
done for the last 5 to 6 years, but lately ive been rebuilding
the shaft bearings in the snout

Yes the shaft gets worn badly with time. I plan to swap the entire snout because mine has had the shut down rattle for over 25K miles.





Maybe if you just replace the coupler and the shaft is worn additional noise is created?
