4.2 XKR rotational play in supercharger - normal?
After removing my supercharger for some maintenance and repairs (not related to the supercharger), I noticed something odd...
While holding down the rotors, i was able to rotate the pulley about 5 degrees clockwise (viewing from front), while the rotors remained stationary. I can't imagine the shaft would be torquing like that.
Is this normal???
Thanks !

That service bulletin says its only for the 2010+ models, so I'm not sure they are the same design.
I really don't want to take the snout off since I already replaced the fluid, and I would be too temped to just rebuild the whole thing.
But seeing this pic of the inside of the 5.0 S/C makes me think its normal. I'm guessing that torsional spring is what I'm feeling.
Edit: I have never had any issues or abnormal noise from the S/C, which also leads me to believe it's normal.
