IMS Bearing and Seal Replacement

[DennisAN]

You list a 2003 Boxster and a 1999 Boxster. Which one are you talking about? One has a dual-row IMSB and the other a less-reliable single-row IMSB.

Why on earth would Porsche change from a $8 dual row bearing to a $4 single row bearing on a later higher HP engine

profit, pure profit

Someone posted the IMS bearing and a cross to a GM alternator bearing...the same thing and then went on Amazon and it was listed for less that $10.00

I hope some heads rolled at Porsche for this travesty

Hi DennisAN. The current Boxster I'm driving is the 2003. I just listed the other Porsches I've owned just to let people know I've had this disease since 1977 and can't be cured!
