Nothing lasts forever.

If you're referring to the IMS Solution, it's probably the most bullet proof option out there because its a plain bearing. There's nothing to collapse, which leads to all sorts of other havoc.

The question to ask yourself is whether the $700 extra is worth the perceived risk it offsets. If you plan to keep the car a long time, say more than 100K, it's probably worth it.

BTW: the LN folks are saying to expect 75K miles on their IMS retrofits.

BTW2: I put the Solution in my 125K car b/c I didn't what to think about the IMS issue and its risks ever again.
