So seals not bearings replaced. And a single row 2nd generation bearing would not have been replaced by a dealer. But it has run since '03 and since '11 when the flange seal was replaced so the probability of the block being true is high. That is the good news.

The bad is the bearing is the least capable Porsche used in a Boxster.

At 103k, I think it a good idea to replace with the IMS Pro (sorta a double row replacement for the single row) or The Solution or the bearing kit of your choice.
