I just got an '02 Boxster base with 130,000 miles on it. Am really happy so far. All that I know needs done is try to clean/polish the rear window and adjust the passenger window, it needs to drop down another ~2mm to clear the top.
I've been reading a lot about the IMS bearing but don't know what I should do. There are no oil leaks from under the car and I don't hear anything that sounds like a bad bearing. Being that this car has 130k on it, does that indicate the bearing has been changed in the past? Should it be changed again?
Thanks, Chuck
