How many have NOT changed IMS bearing on their 1997-2000 Boxster?

2002 S with 20k original miles.

Hmm. Single row bearing with low mileage, you have probably the two biggest risk factors for failure.

I did the LNE upgrade myself in my garage on a 2002 S with ~38k miles. Pulled the original bearing, it was as tight as a drum or otherwise perfectly fine.
