So while some dealers actually sent techs to Jake's IMS class and quietly did do retrofits, most dealers stayed with the factory line" It cannot be done."

Another point is Porsche's parts network; they only sell complete replacement IMS shafts with the bearing already in them, they have never offered the bearing as a separate part.
I c, thanks for the explanation. Sux they don't really. I was forced yo learn how to live and enjoy with the risk
