Please help this "newbie".....I have a 1998 Boxster (5 spd) base model that I bought 7 years ago. It had 36,000 miles when I bought it and now has 74,000 miles. (It's my "summer-sunny day car" thus I only drive it about 5,000 miles a year)

I tuned it up once and changed all of the filters once in the last 2 years and the car runs great and gets great fuel mileage.

My question is about this bearing topic. My Porsche mechanic (specializing in BMW's, Mercedes, Porsches) has never mentioned anything to me about it....Then again I never brought it up to him.

Is this something that I need to take care of?
Does this affect my year and model?
Is it a widespread issue?
If its problematic, I would think I would have been told about it by my mechanic?

Thanks,
R
