In other words, for owners of Power Works supercharged cars, it's not always the bearings that go, but the spring.
Is there any remedy from C-F-M for this possibility? I just pose this as a general question for further inquiry and thought, not as any demand. It'd just be nice to have a top notch part from C-F-M instead of the crap shoot that is parts from other manufacturers!
