For those of you sitting on the fence about your IMS bearing, I would advise just going ahead and doing it. I no longer worry about my car every time I drive it and can just enjoy the car. Highly recommended for the peace of mind it will give you.
I had my work done at Kraftwerks here in Central Ohio and was really impressed with Jeff, the owner. It's a one man band type of shop so you know exactly who's going to be working on your car. I really appreciated his attention to detail and communication throughout the process. Highly recommended, great labor rate too.
