Peace of Mind - IMS bearing

[jlucas]

For those of you sitting on the fence about your IMS bearing, I would advise just going ahead and doing it. I no longer worry about my car every time I drive it and can just enjoy the car. Highly recommended for the peace of mind it will give you.

I had my work done at Kraftwerks here in Central Ohio and was really impressed with Jeff, the owner. It's a one man band type of shop so you know exactly who's going to be working on your car. I really appreciated his attention to detail and communication throughout the process. Highly recommended, great labor rate too.

For those that asked, there was some play between the shaft and the bearing and oil was getting past the seal but it still spun smoothly. Definitely starting to degrade so I'm very glad I changed it. Car has 38k on it.

Thanks 4 the info.If I pull the trigger on my first Boxster,I'm really considering the same strategy as I consider it an insurance plan.I really want to enjoy the car and drive it like a real sports car.I's a shame that an engineering giant like P did not catch this during the design phase.Question=was this shaft eliminated from the later motors and if so,when? (Noobie question)

I could not agree more.. Buy a car and immediately have the engine retrofitted.

Or, outfit the car with my new product, the IMS Guardian.

Or do both.

Jake,
I have already replaced/upgraded my IMS bearing with the LN Engineering bearing but tell us about your new product. Is there a web link where we can get information on the "IMS Guardian"?

Thanks
Jager
