Yes, you can replace the IMS Bearing preventatively on a 2002 -- not a problem, but not a small operation. If you are are anywhere near needing a new clutch or RMS it's a good time to do that as well.
An other alternative is the IMS Solution, but I dont' believe anyone other than Jake Raby is installing them -- requires shipping your car to GA, but seems like the best possible solution.
Midwest Performance Cars on Lake & Ogden does all of my work, and did my IMS Bearing -- prices are fair, and the staff is extremely knowledgeable & experienced.
