'03 S - Two Mechanics say Yes & One says No - IMS

Yes, I know you are all sick of the IMS topic, but mine is in the 8-10% failure rate. If it were in the 1% category I wouldn't give it another thought.

I have an appointment to have the IMS bearing replaced in 2 weeks. Before I bought the car another mechanic suggested I have it replaced immediately. I just spoke with a third mechanic today who said he has replaced four dozen IMS bearings, and not a single bearing he replaced was bad.

He believes there are warning signs. He also believes in checking the oil filter every time the oil is replaced for metal shavings. He believes the only reason you should do it is if you need that piece of mind. Good grief, now I don't know what to do.

The mechanic I called today came highly recommended from a fellow forum member.
