Supercharger knocking

My S/C knocks! It is not a constant thing but this is when it usually happens:
I drive the car around enough for the engine to be plenty warm enough, I shut it off for about 20 minutes or so, and about 5 minutes after I start the car back up, once the engine gets warmed up again, the S/C starts knocking.. It will knock for about 5 minutes or so, and then stop. It sounds like bad bearings to me, i know thats more than likely not it since its not constant, but that is about the only thing i can compare the sound to. And I when you put your hand on the S/C you can feal it knocking, so I know that is where it is coming from. Any ideas/others with this problem?

Car is completly stock....
