The IMS Solution is a plain bearing replacement option for single row bearing cars. It is lubricated by a direct oil feed from the filter assembly. The feed is part of the IMS Solution package.
Single and dual row, unsealed ball bearing IMSs require external oil for lubrication. As I said in my prior note, the LN Retrofit history shows splash oil is sufficient. While there is no objective evidence in my view to show oil feed kits will materially extend bearing lives further, other people hold the opinion that these kits do extend operating lifetimes. In this sense, the merits of these kits comes down to who's opinion do you trust.
