when did the single row IMS bearings begin?

[TripleTrophy]

2000 appears to be the beginning of the single row, with 2005 or 2006 with the start of a heavier duty single row. There is a good description at LN Engineering: IMS Failures Explained | IMS Retrofit

Hey Haste,

The car,at 80,000 miles,in my opinion has had plenty of opportunity to create a problem and get repaired.Just set aside some dollars for future repair/maintenance like on any premium car.

You seem good to go to me! go go go

Go to Pedro's Garage...they no have any oiling system to oil the back of the bearing.
