IMS Retrofit, RMS, spare key done. Asked dealer to save original bearing and what do you know: a double row in perfect condition replaced by a new double row bearing������. Did I read somewhere the dbl rows had a 1% failure rate? FML!

The vast majority of people who do their IMS find their old IMS was/is just fine. With such a small failure rate - the odds were overwhelming that your old bearing would be just fine, so not sure why you are so surprised.
At least now you have piece of mind and don't have to worry about it.

Surprised? Not really. Peace of mind? Definitely. IMS paranoia from this forum? Should be criminal!!

a friend just had his clutch done on his 2001 Boxster S, he had the LN bearing lined up as a while you are in there. His dual row was just about to go, there was metal shavings in the ims chamber, he got pretty lucky

Today I did a complete detail starting with Lexol leather cleaner, then applied Lexol conditioner. I treated all the rubber with Lexol conditioner, cleaned the floor mats and vacuumed. I removed all the dried out, stuck on bugs with Goo Gone, then treated the whole car with New Car Glaze. I did the wheels and all the glass, brushed the top and used a lint roller on it. She shines and smells good inside. Tomorrow I'll take her for a good spin on a winding back road to listen to her howl.
