Can’t help but weigh in...replacing the IMS, once your in there is easy, don’t see how you could mess up and not know it. That said, the 98 has a double-row, very low failure rate. I replaced mine with a non-LN because of the ridiculous warranty requirements and inflated price, but just because I was in there. The removed bearing was a double row also and was perfect at 89K. Upside is when I sell it, it has a new bearing. Done right. IMHO, these are cars for people that work on them, and enjoy it. I also think they are easy to work on. taking it to a mechanic for everything ruins the cost of ownership model for me. YMMV.
enjoy it, they are a blast to drive.
