Why the hell does it matter what I do to make a living? I drove one of these cars to my shop today and I am a Porsche Enthusiast just like you.

Hating the vendors won't get your vehicle very developed.. Porsche doesn't give a damn about your car after the sale, so you'll be relying on people just like me for as long as you continue to own it.

Plus, people know who I am, no need for a disclaimer. Just type it in Google.

Conflict of interest?! Seriously? Your bigger concerned should be advice that has no basis in experience from a source that to you exists only as an online persona. The last thing we want to do is drive off those who actually work on these cars and know what they are talking about.

So much drama

Jake, why did Porsche make some cars with a single row IMS and other with a double row? Which ones seem to fail more and why?

No one knows why Porsche did what they did.. Anything I post about that would be assumption.

The single row bearings certainly seem to fail more, they should because they are 1/2 as substantial as the dual row.. BUT there are no blanket statements.
