Everything about the bearing, center bolt, and seals were like new. The IMS did NOT need to be done imho. It was fun though and I'm glad I got in there and am updating so many parts (IMS, RMS, Clutch, ASO, Oil fill tube, Clutch Slave, and cracked under panel). The clutch slave is working but in poor condition so I'm glad that is getting changed.

I certainly don't know the condition of the inside of the bearing, that will take analysis.

I amazed at what good condition parts have been on this car. I did the water pump and engine mount and they were in great shape too. The engine mount had a small crack forming and it was time to change it.

It's interesting how some Boxsters have a good amount of parts wear out. The guy that owned this before me only changed the oil every 10 to 15k miles. There were times it sat for years without an oil change.

No regrets, I bought the car to have something to work on and bring back to life both visually and mechanically. As I'm finding though most components have held up great.

Oh 57k on bearing...
